Wouldn't judge her too harshly on last two runs (met trouble on former occasion and then faced a stiff task from out of the weights latest); this more suitable and she's not discounted.

0-7; finished last on debut for Tom Ward but there was much more encouragement in her fourth of seven at Southwell (1m3f) three weeks ago; stays this trip well and is dropping in the weights; has to be considered.

12-race maiden; creditable efforts in three AW handicaps in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival at Windsor (11.4f) and Southwell (2m) in last two starts; has plenty to prove again and he needs a major revival back at this trip.

Cashed in on a reduced mark at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) last month before following up under a penalty at Windsor five days later; up another 4lb but she overcame trouble for that brave success last time and still looks feasibly treated; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Won a 9.4f maiden here on debut in January 2024 and was then off 14 months before third of eight over 1m3f at Southwell (not clear run and switched) 18 days ago; bred to be suited by this further step up in distance; not obviously well treated on handicap debut but she has bags of potential.
