Can lack some concentration as when holding on last week at Doncaster (5f), for her second win in three starts; up 4lb and they claimed 5lb last week, so has more on her plate from stall 9.

Took advantage of a declining mark to register her first AW/handicap win, at Southwell (5f) last month; hung right throughout when fourth of five at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) since; should not be far away if on her best behaviour.

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.

All four wins have come on AW and latest was off 1lb lower at Chelmsford (5f) last September; 0-7 on turf but she's run respectably in small fields at Leicester and Doncaster in her last two starts; now drops back in grade and she shouldn't be far away.

Both wins (6f/7f) have been on AW but she was disappointing when favourite at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last week; still unexposed on turf but she has form figures of 600 in this sphere and all of those runs were in handicaps; others preferred.

Both wins have been on Tapeta and latest was at Southwell (6f) in her final run last season; 4lb higher on her return but she's still lightly raced on turf and should be unfazed by this drop back in trip; needs watching in market.
