Form & Verdict
Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected.

Thrown in on her best form for Georgina Nicholls and she made it 2-2 for new connections with a Lingfield win that was more commanding than the winning distance might suggest; 1lb wrong under a penalty but surprising if there isn't a fair bit left in the tank.

Back from long absence when making all off a reduced mark on stable debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she held off a clear second and a 3lb rise looks fair; respected in her bid to make it 2-2 for James Owen.

Lightly raced 4yo whose solid record in novice events, including 2yo success over C&D, has not been transferred to two handicaps; sold out of Ed Bethell's yard for £6,000 since last run; return to this scenario may have positive effect on stable/seasonal debut.

Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable.
