Form & Verdict
Far from straightforward at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, having made an awkward start and hung left in the latter stages, but managed to justify favouritism and take form figures to 2121; her other win came over 6f; improving.

Record is 5-13; ended her 2025 campaign with an August double that comprised a Listed race at Pontefract (good to firm) and Group 3 at Deauville (soft), both over 6f; progressive and tactically versatile mare who warrants respect on reappearance.

Ran well under a penalty in Windsor novice event (6f, good to firm; clear third) on seasonal debut; still held a Commonwealth Cup entry at the time, suggesting she is held in high regard; should do well in handicaps; commands respect.

One of three for stable; yet to win for this yard but has run well in defeat; best effort a head second in a 7f Listed at Cork in August (7f, good); not as good dropped to 6f last twice and now drops in trip again; has won on AW but McMonagle prefers stablemate.

Handicap winner over 6f for Charlie Fellowes last year; decent form for Joseph O'Brien without winning; third in a 5f Listed race at Naas in May; career-best when second in a 7f Listed contest at Cork in August; another solid display in a Group 3 at Naas; 2l to find with Carla Ridge.

Form & Verdict
Seems flattered by her Group 3 effort last September, which resulted in her peak RPR; holds weak claims on 2024 form and looks likely to struggle against some progressive fillies in this field.

Caught the eye dropped to a 0-70 for the first time at Kempton (6f) four weeks ago, beaten only just over 2l despite being repeatedly denied a clear run; the return to 7f should help if anything and Patrick Chamings is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful.

She has slipped down the weights and there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her Goodwood fifth last month (7f, soft); drops in class today and Jim Crowley is booked; interesting.
