Form & Verdict

Progressive mare who has form figures of 2121 since joining Olly Murphy and she kept on well to beat a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but she has quite a bit of stamina in pedigree and still looks on a workable mark; respected.

Form & Verdict
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record.

Exploited much-reduced mark over C&D (good) in April and finished second over C&D on both subsequent appearances (good to soft/good) but is no longer the force of old and others in this field have more appealing profiles.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner over 2m4f on soft ground in 2024-25 season but has been rather inconsistent and didn't offer enough when fifth of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago to suggest he's likely to cash in on his reduced mark now.
