She hasn't beaten many home in her four runs since a Lingfield win in March (1m2f, AW); down to a good mark as a result but the fitting of cheekpieces needs to turn things around.

Won three times for Michael Bell, two of them on Polytrack including here; poor the last twice and makes her stable debut after 66 days off having been picked up for 1,000gns in October; no headgear today and drawn wide; market informative.

Successful in 2021, 2022 and 2023; 0-6 and inconsistent this year; very well treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

Modest form in a bumper and three Flat runs (1m-1m4f); should find this low-grade handicap more suitable but she's still not easily recommended.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in all four starts for this stable (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm-heavy), most recently beaten at odds-on in a three-runner race at Leicester last month; should give her running but others appeal more for win purposes.

Her last win was in April 2021 but she's finished runner-in four of her six starts for this yard including a near miss at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May; couldn't pose a threat when fourth at Yarmouth last time but that was against a pace bias and she has possibilities back up in trip; new headgear.

Seven-race maiden who hasn't made a significant impact in handicaps thus far; dropping down the weights and this is a marked drop in class; cheekpieces tried for the first time and he's well worth monitoring for market support; best efforts over 1m.
