Form & Verdict
Cosily recorded two more Wolverhampton wins last month (6f/7f), setting a new highest mark defied in the latter; handicapper swift to retaliate with latest 7lb re-raise, but she'd likely go close if running to the level of last year's best frame finishes on turf.

Form & Verdict
Last month's second at Ffos Las (7.5f) is easily her best effort over further than the 5f-6f of all of her wins, whilst also reaffirming her greater effectiveness with cut; weighted to figure if no dryout.

Form & Verdict
Value for a bit more than the head verdict over Sharon Curly at Doncaster latest (7f, good to firm), considering some trouble in the run; up another 3lb and needs the cheekpieces to work as well again, but in the form to kick on now and does have spare stamina if required (stays 1m).
