Prominent racer; not found her best form in 2026 and she has a wide stall to contend with tonight; is at least down in the weights.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden who was well held at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 17 days ago but that was after a break and she looks interesting on some placed form in 5f nurseries last year; dropped 2lb after that last run and she's not ruled out back in trip.

Both wins have come at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) for David O'Meara this year; not beaten far into third of ten on her second start for this yard at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago, but a suspicion that the minimum trip suits her best.

Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here.

Form & Verdict
Well held in maiden/novice events but his RPRs have been progressive and his fourth at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month was promising after a lengthy absence; looks interesting now switched to a handicap and he's bred to be much better than this mark.
