Form & Verdict
Won at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) on May 16 on third stable start and followed up off same mark at Ayr (6f, good to firm) five days later; unproven on slow ground; her new, 9lb higher mark has now kicked in but she's done it comfortably the last twice and could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Fifth career win when beating seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) and she got behind before staying on in Vantheman's race at Hamilton; drawn on the wing but has a big run in her.

T: Jim Goldie

Won four times early last summer, including over C&D, and climbed 19lb up the weights; made it three wins and a second in four starts under Lauren Young when turning in a career-best effort to score at Musselburgh last time out and may well be up to defying a 3lb rise.

Needs to better her last two performances (Ayr/Carlisle) but this C&D winner likes it here and is on a handy mark on course form as recent as last autumn; not written off now back at Musselburgh.

Not at the top of her game at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago but before that she was an encouraging fourth on her comeback at Ayr (5f, good to firm); third in this last year and might not be far away if bouncing back.

Three AW wins earlier this year (6f/5f) and he didn't run badly back on turf at Ayr last month following a 53-day break; however, this nine-time AW winner is 0-32 on grass and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

This drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus but he's been running consistently well in defeat over 6f on his last three starts and perhaps he'll be sharper for the first-time visor; could be thereabouts.

Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out.
