Form & Verdict
Doesn't look easy but won small-field handicaps at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm), Nottingham (1m2f, good; sole run in cheekpieces) and Southwell (1m3f, AW) on last three outings, making all on last two occasions; still hung markedly last time but again finished well on top, so she needs some respect despite today's 11lb higher mark in a more competitive race.

Improved for the step up in trip last summer, winning four handicaps (1m2f to extended 1m3f); she's run creditably in both starts this year but latest Goodwood fifth suggests she's up against it once more.

Kept on well to win Class 4 Goodwood handicap (good ground) when upped to this trip in June and has remained in good form since, but may have been flattered by her proximity when fourth of six in tactical Listed race at Chester (14.3f, good) in August and needs a bigger run here.

Never out of the first two in four runs last season, winding up with a maiden success over this far at Kempton; carried little confidence when a 6-1 chance on reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f; handicap debut) and finished well behind on soft ground; it could be those conditions were not to her liking and she remains of interest; stable won this twice in eight seasons.

Fifth win of the campaign came in tidy style at Beverley last month; all those were over about 1m4f (on varied ground) and she was never dangerous at 25-1 when 5lb out of the handicap in a 1m6f Class 2 at Haydock 11 days ago; 5lb lower today and this challenge looks much more realistic.

Placed in four of her first nine starts before making the breakthrough in seven-runner handicap at Kempton (upped to 1m4f, AW) three weeks ago, doing it comfortably at 5-6; needs to improve on her turf form but that was registered before she was raised to 1m3f/1m4f, so it may be possible.
