Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning at Musselburgh (5f, good) in April and went close off this mark at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; 2lb well in and has solid claims.

Pulled too hard in a pair 5f AW nurseries at Newcastle at the end of 2025 but settled better ridden with restraint on her recent reappearance there (5f again), keeping on to finish a close fifth of 11, with the reopposing Fille Unique third; entitled to come on for the run and should be on the premises.

9st 7lb

J: Kaiya Fraser

Has twice gone close from this mark in her last three starts, at Musselburgh (5f, good) and most recently at Redcar (5f, good to firm); both those efforts suggest that this extra half furlong will be a positive; visor now tried; player.

Tongue tied in three AW starts for the Crisfords, winning a 6f Chelmsford novice in August but only eighth of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield in September; sold 15,000gns since; no tongue-tie on first 5f run; too many questions this time.

Left her first three efforts for Iain Jardine behind when winning over 6f at Newcastle 16 days ago; the way she got on top towards the finish doesn't suggest she's crying out for this drop to 5f for the first time but the fact she's a last-time-out winner counts for something.

Closely matched with Oasis Diamond on their Catterick clash (5f) and didn't quite see out the 6f (good to soft) back there last week when 5lb well in; new mark has since kicked in but, back at 5f, she should go close.
