Inconsistent but she comfortably made all at 25-1 in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month and ran as well as could be expected in a Listed race at Redcar last time (7f, soft; fifth of six); no surprise to see a bold bid now back in a handicap.

Suited by good/softer in this sphere; productive 2024 campaign includes two C&D wins; close second here 18 days ago and best to forgive her Ayr defeat (raced on unfavoured side) on Friday; not dismissed.

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.

Mostly a hold-up mare; two wins from just five starts here feature a success over this trip (soft) two years ago and another over 6f (good to firm) last May; on her third trainer when scoring over 1m at Newcastle (AW) in January but she'll need to be better than ever to defy this mark on her first start since February; this could set up quite nicely, though.
