Form & Verdict
Good record on AW, shaping well at Wolverhampton last August and making it 3-3 in handicaps when getting the better of Elladonna over C&D last month (pair well clear); 4lb rise may underestimate her and her stable won this race with fillies with a similar profile in 2023 and 2024; draw could have been kinder but she's still a major player.

She made a winning stable/AW debut when staying on well in Class 4 fillies' handicap at Kempton in November (1m3f); prominent in the betting but finished a well-beaten fourth of five in a Listed race back at Kempton last month (1m4f); this should prove more manageable.

Unraced on softer than good; fourth when she tried a Listed race and Irish Group 3 this summer, coming from last to fourth in a steadily run race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right; 2m duly proved just the ticket back in a handicap at York three weeks ago, asserting late on; perhaps testing ground will offset today's shorter distance; chance if so.
