Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner; on a good mark and he is almost certainly in better form than his figures suggest, hamstrung by some poor draws and then poorly positioned under a 7lb claimer at Lingfield last week; down into a Class 6 and he's a strong contender.

Off the mark at the 17th attempt when making all in a Wolverhampton novice 17 days ago (just his second run at 5f); a 5lb rise for that looks harsh and he has much more on his plate this time.

Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted.

Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today.
