Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won five times last April-July (good/good to firm), including over C&D; down the field at Nottingham last October when last seen but this mark isn't necessarily beyond her in view of her good third at Haydock (1m, good) in September; could make a bold bid if fully tuned up.

Front-runner who posted five wins last year and reappeared with another at Musselburgh (1m, good) in April; unplaced on both starts since and, while she didn't run badly back at Musselburgh last time, she's taking on 3yos this afternoon and may again prove vulnerable.

Front-runs; major improvement for this yard in 2025, winning five times, including over C&D; improved on those efforts when coming clear in fine style over 1m here (good) on reappearance but she ran poorly when going unpenalised at Redcar next time and now has an 8lb higher mark on her plate; probably wouldn't want much rain.
