Consistent spell over 7f featured an Epsom win in July; well held on penultimate start, though, and never got into it over 1m at Brighton on latest (patchy record over 1m); good chance if back to her peak.

Form & Verdict
No match for clear winner when second at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and then fared less well here; the return of blinkers should be no bad thing, nor a return to slower ground; chance.

Yet to win (0-11), but runner-up on three occasions, including in blinkers at Chepstow (7f) in July; she has had various issues, either in or breaking from the stalls (stumbled badly at Ffos Las) since; reverting to cheekpieces coupled with a first visit to Newcastle could spark a revival.

First return to Polytrack/7f since recording her two best form efforts at Kempton in January; 6lb lower now than for the 1l second of the latter of those, and case strong granted a better start than the last twice.

J: Taylor Fisher

0-9 but she's finished runner-up in three handicaps including under a positive ride at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last time; was no match for the winner in that race but she pulled clear of the third and is 1lb lower here; respected.

Won a 6f Polytrack handicap on her final run for Tom Ward; no closer than 5l in two runs for this stable, over 6f on fast ground; unraced on slower turf.

Course winner over 5f on heavy ground in September and she has also won on good to firm; ended last season out of sorts and she was well held on her return at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago; hood is removed and tongue-tie is applied; bit to prove.

Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Three-figure prices for all three starts and pulled hard each time; the step up to 1m3f should have suited last time but she hung left throughout before dropping away; now drops back to 7f for handicap debut but looks best watched.
