Third of six in a classified event here (1m2f, good to firm) last month and she improved to win an Epsom handicap two weeks later; has form on AW and she's one to consider despite a small rise in the weights.

Kept on for third in AW handicap here (1m2f) in March but was well down the field on both subsequent starts (1m4f/1m2f) and is now 0-9; eased in grade but needs three-month break to have done her good.

Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect.

Form & Verdict
Back in good form on last two outings, more recently when making all for clearcut success at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) ten days ago; evidently in good nick but enjoyed the run of the race there and is effectively 6lb higher under 5lb penalty here.

0-6 but he was runner-up in a handicap here (7.6f, good) in May and he made late gains when a close fifth at Windsor (1m, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month; still has potential and he looks interesting on this step up to 1m2f.
