Worked her way back to peak form and scored by just over 4l at Uttoxeter (near 3m, good) in June; ran poorly over that same C&D last month, however.

Has worked her way back to peak form, following a break, and scored by just over 4l over C&D (good) six weeks ago; 5lb higher now but ought to make her presence felt again.

11st 9lb

J: Nick Slatter

Out of form in two runs last winter but she is 3-12 over hurdles and realistically handicapped if she can rediscover her form; market could be helpful back from a break.

Winner of good-ground mares' handicaps at Hereford (2m4f) and Warwick (2m5f) the last twice; career-high mark and a first step into a Class 4 handicap demand more, but tactically versatile and confidence high.

Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises.

Built on June's reappearance when keeping on for third over 2m here 12 days ago, in a race she had won in 2024 and 2025; yet to prove she needs this far but is on a good mark and could figure if staying the trip.
