Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.

14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

Maiden (0-15); went clear but couldn't sustain her effort when reeled in by Elettaria at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; her subsequent Catterick run can be excused - stumbled badly early - so, on slightly better terms, she'd have a chance of reversing those earlier placings.

In blistering form two winters back, climbing from a BHA mark of 45 to 77; absent for 471 days prior to a 2025 campaign where he struggled; had a wind op in January and he hinted at a revival when beaten under 4l in a Class 5 here four weeks ago (5f); this looks more realistic and market confidence would look significant.
