Wandered around late, but had her head in front where it matters at Doncaster (5f, good to firm; from 3lb lower) in July; not far off that level of form at Chester and Thirsk (5f, good; fourth to the thriving Azuinthejungle) since; must enter calculations.

In-form 4yo who has won twice over 5f (AW/good to firm) this summer and she didn't get the best of runs when a close fourth of 11 at Chester (5f, good) last time; on same mark here and she should be in the thick of things again.

Form & Verdict
A fair and reliable 5f AW winner for David O'Meara in 2025; comes here on the back of a solid third of 11 for her new stable in 5f Thirsk handicap 13 days ago so can't be ruled out.

Runner-up four times this summer before going one better at Southwell 12 days ago; blinkered on last two outings; three of those seconds were on turf (good/good to firm) but all five of her wins have been on AW (from 23 races) compared to her 0-9 record on turf.

Four-time AW winner who has finished runner-up in four of her last five starts, including over C&D in June and at Ayr in her last two runs; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's respected back on Tapeta.

Southwell maiden winner for Karl Burke in the spring who's on a competitive mark now for her new (in-form) yard; not best suited by the way things panned out behind Whizzy Dizzy last time and is entitled to at least close the gap on 6lb better terms.

Well beaten on both runs this year (5f), here most recently, and a major turnaround is necessary; however, the form of the stable catches the eye and she won over C&D last October; back up in trip today; interesting.
