Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Usually runs over 6f and all five wins have been over that distance on AW; tends to be slowly away and needs to ensure that she remains in touch back over the minimum trip.

0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling.

C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that.

She's been running well in the main this season and has finished second at Ayr (5f, good/good to firm) on her two starts this month; she's won over C&D and there's every chance that she'll be bang there.

Form & Verdict
Won last year's renewal (good) off 2lb higher mark and went on to win again at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) the following month; subsequently lost her form but wasn't beaten far when sixth of ten on her reappearance at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month; solid claims.

A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb.

All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player.
