Thrice-raced filly who most recently prevailed in Southwell maiden (6f; kept to AW) on seasonal debut; pedigree suggests she should do better still and prove as effective on turf; respected handicap debutante.

Form & Verdict
Better with each of her three runs last summer and started among the favourites on her handicap debut/comeback from nine months off recently; didn't look to see out a stiff 7.4f that day and has the edge over most in terms of experience.

0-6 but she's proving consistent and she was beaten off by the reopposing Zarvali only late on at Catterick (7f, good) 12 days ago; good-value claimer takes 7lb off; not ruled out each-way.

0-5 and has had more chances than any of these but she's been steadily progressive and ran well when third in a maiden at Southwell (6f, AW) last month; good second over 7f on turf at York last July; leading form claims.

Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap.

Early signs of ability when third of 12 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 but she wasn't seen again until April, on Southwell AW, when impeded early and never entered the fray; may well need another run and will be eligible for handicaps after today.
