Form & Verdict
Four-time winner in 2021 and finished runner-up in this race; picked up a Listed contest at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in April but has been below form in her last three starts on turf; this not an easy race in which to bounce back, especially under her penalty.

Lightly raced 4yo who was successful in three of her first six outings, including two on Polytrack, but off for ten weeks since disappointing in a handicap at York (7f, good); has a bit to find on these terms but she is from a leading yard and it wouldn't be a great surprise to see her bounce back if freshened up by the break.

Well beaten on both Chester runs this season but one was her reappearance and the other was a tough Listed assignment; in between she went close at Haydock and she was a two-time course winner last year (7f, soft/good to soft); could go well now back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces.

Very progressive at three, including a success over the straight 1m here; bombed out on soft-ground reappearance but back on track when fourth in 1m2f Ayr Listed race (good) four weeks ago, her stamina appearing to ebb away late on after hitting the front going well 2f out; drop back to 1m looks a good move; interesting contender, although her draw could make life awkward.
