Form & Verdict
Progressive filly who has won over 6f, 7f, and 1m in her last three runs and the last two have been at this track (good to soft/good); 6lb higher than last time but that was a dominant display and she's a big player again back in trip.

Had a wonderful 2025, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; not much to celebrate this year, and this is her first course run, but back on her last winning mark and a revival should come at some stage.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism in a Wolverhampton maiden (7f, AW) in June but she was only ninth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed but has bit to prove after that last run and she needs more progress.

Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return.
