Began handicap life on an unrealistic mark last year having won her first two starts in novice company; competitive again now, though, finishing a solid second at Wolverhampton when down to 5f on Monday in first-time cheekpieces; shortlisted.

Won two AW novice events last summer over 6f-7f; hasn't gone on in handicaps since; first-time cheekpieces go on now she steps down in class back at 5f off a plummeting mark; may well show more.

T: Edward Smyth-Osbourne

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.

J: Georgia Dobie

Unable to get into the action at Chester recently but some good 6f turf efforts previously, following on from a front-running win on Wolverhampton Tapeta (5f) in February; may well have a good run in her back on AW.

Sole win from 13 starts came in a maiden at Catterick (5f, soft) in July 2024; shaped well when sixth of 17 at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) in March and ran another solid race on the AW at Southwell 15 days ago; contender.

Just a maiden win to her name and has often pulled hard, including a couple of times for her current yard; fair comeback at Doncaster in March, albeit from a good draw, and is worth considering.

Ran in these colours for Karl Burke and was progressing when winning her AW maiden; her handicap debut back at Southwell was underwhelming given she went off favourite; probably better than that.

She has improved with each of her three starts, having a bit up her sleeve when winning over C&D four weeks ago (5f); makes her handicap debut with the potential for better.

Record of 0-8 in handicaps but has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D in April; disappointing favourite back here last time and needs to rebound.

All four wins have been on the AW and she's yet to finish in the first three in four races on turf; pulled up after hitting the gates on her final start for David O'Meara and needs to take a step forward from last month's stable debut.

Placed twice at novice level, including on soft ground over this C&D on her debut, but wasn't able to progress in handicaps last year; has had a wind operation since last seen 221 days ago and she's best watched unless the market speaks favourably.
