Down the field at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last Tuesday but slow ground may not suit nowadays; third in this last year and she seems to like the Newmarket courses; each-way possibilities if back on song.

Recorded her ninth win with a cosy success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June; below her best there last month but bounced back when a length behind Lady Roxby at Kempton ten days ago; has claims.

Form & Verdict
Fine record over C&D, winning four times since joining Gemma Tutty last October; nicely backed when beating male opposition 18 days ago and a 2lb rise is fair; strong claims but with the caveat that she wouldn't want a dawdle early.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Gemma Tutty

Five-time C&D winner who's slid to a handy mark after a handful of runs on turf this season; looked an unlucky loser back on Tapeta last time, when a slow start cost her off 1lb lower, and she's high on the shortlist in a race that may set up for her.

Hold-up mare who's a five-time winner over this trip at Southwell (two previous runs here came off much higher marks); best effort of a light season came at Carlisle last time, back down from 7f, and the return to Tapeta is clearly in her favour.

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing.

Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins for Ivan Furtado, one of them here, and she's still relatively low mileage; first run back from a wind op may have been needed; has joined a new yard (same owner) since and she's a sprinter of interest; worth a market check in relation to stablemate Powdering.

Form & Verdict
Stays 1m and has won over 7f but better known for her 5f exploits and she has only run twice over 6f since October 2021; this represents an ease in grade but she could perhaps do with more help from the handicapper.

Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender.
