Form & Verdict
Sent off at 50-1 when taking big leap forward in finishing second of 13 in an amateur riders' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month; longer trip that day suited and even greater stamina test here could eke out more; due to go up 3lb after this.

Ended a long losing sequence when winning at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last month and she followed up there (1m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; also effective elsewhere and this in-form mare could play another leading role.

Ended a losing run going back to September 2022 when winning here (1m7f, soft) last Tuesday; her profile suggests her credentials for following up are questionable, but she had 3l to spare last week and a 4lb penalty may not stop her if she can reproduce that form.

Form & Verdict
On a 20-race losing sequence but was hinting at ending that run before proving a disappointing favourite under this rider at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; previous form puts him in the mix but he needs to bounce back up in trip.
