4 yo Filly

OR: 63

Form & Verdict
Her form has been patchy in the second half of summer and she was only fifth of six over C&D last time out; however, she's run several good races here, she's down to a handy mark, and the first-time blinkers may give her a lift.

Her form has been mixed this season and she was soundly beaten at Carlisle last time; however, she's running at Hamilton for the first time this year and nine of her 11 wins have come over C&D; she's 10lb lower than when winning here last August and could bounce back with a bold show.

Eleven turf wins, mostly at Hamilton but once over C&D, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; weighted to find another race and will be suited by returning to a track with a stiff finish following her persevering fourth at Ayr 13 days ago; thereabouts.

Continues to edge down the weights and she hasn't run badly on her last three starts, but she was behind two of these when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time and needs something extra this afternoon.

Form & Verdict
Build on her previous promise (including on good ground on sole turf start) when winning in first-time eyeshields (retained) on last month's handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, AW); this unexposed 3yo is open to further improvement and may be able to take a 3lb rise in her stride.
