Form & Verdict
Fairly routine form when first handicapping but she won two in a row at Newmarket and Goodwood (7f, good) in May, quite emphatically on the latter occasion; 8lb higher now but she's had trip (1m) and class excuses since and remains of interest back in a 7f handicap.

Novice form was progressive, winning on AW at Kempton (1m) in January before finishing fourth in a strong race at Ascot; yet to shine in handicaps but testing ground may have been against her at Sandown last time and she's well treated on her novice form if the combination of a first-time tongue-tie and return to AW sparks a return to form.

Novice form was progressive, winning at Kempton (1m) in January before finishing fourth in a strong race at Ascot; yet to shine in handicaps, albeit latest York run (cheekpieces worn, absent today) was better, and the prospect of rain dims enthusiasm for a revival.

Has raced at 1m+ since debut, following an emphatic maiden win on Kempton AW in January with a creditable show at Ascot (also 1m) in April; the big fillies' handicap over that trip at Royal Ascot was too much to ask and so was 1m2f on soft at Windsor since; can race freely so the return to 7f is worth a go; cheekpieces fitted.

Form & Verdict
All five wins at sprint trips (good to firm and good) in 2024; has had some tight calls on turf in 2025 and she lost out in the last stride here (5f) yesterday but this is a tough race in which to test the stamina waters now tackling 7f for the first time.

Off the mark for the year with her win at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in August; wore first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good) nine days ago and she ran well for second; another 1lb higher today but foolish to discount.

Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Sole win in a 6f novice last July; has had no problem with the step up to 7f on her last two starts but she's no certainty to turn things round with either Maybe Not on their Newbury form in July or with Mostar Dreams from Haydock 11 days ago.

Signed off for Ed Walker with a win at Southwell (1m, AW) last October but she's been disappointing for new yard this year; now 8lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival in first-time blinkers.

Immediate impact for new yard with 7f wins at Wetherby and Yarmouth (good to firm and good) but she went up 6lb for the latter and failed to do herself justice at Newmarket since after rearing at the start; work to do.

Scored off 1lb higher on her reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW; stays 7f) in April but her last two runs contained little encouragement; handicapping case to be made but she needs a revival.
