Returned to form with a bang when a well-backed winner in first-time blinkers (retained since) in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last month; unplaced at Ripon (6f, good) eight days later but back on song when second at Ayr (6f, heavy) last week; well worth another crack at 5f; high on the list.

Getting back on slow ground is a positive and she's 5lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September, but she hasn't been at the top of her game in a light campaign and a shorter trip may be preferable.

Usually kept to testing ground; 2lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; has not approached that form since and none of her three attempts at 1m2f has gone well, including three months ago on latest start, so there have to be doubts.

Three Flat wins during his time with Kevin Ryan, including beating Roland Garros in this race (good; also won on good to soft) off 3lb lower under Henry Callan 12 months ago; has struggled badly over hurdles for Lizzie Quinlan in 2026 so his hopes are pinned on a recent wind operation and a return to the Flat sparking a revival.

0-6 and needs to produce a lot more than she's managed the last twice; however, perhaps soft ground didn't suit at Carlisle most recently and she's posted some strong finishes over 6f, suggesting this first crack at 1m is worth a go; this 3yo is not a forlorn hope.
