Form & Verdict
Hard to weigh up on return from a break but she was impressive in only her second 6f turf handicap, and first on soft, at Haydock in May; this will take more winning but perhaps a 7lb rise won't be too big a burden and she may well go on to better things; interesting.

J: Charles Bishop

T: Hugo Palmer

Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way.

Has an outstanding record for Oisin Murphy, winning four of five starts for him and unfortunate to not to make it a clean sweep in the other; has won over 7f and is effective on all surfaces; she tends to cut it fine but was again strong when it mattered at Hamilton (6f, good) in July and continues on the upgrade; solid chance.

Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender.

Form & Verdict
Had a good season for this yard in 2023, winning twice at 6f on good to soft; slow to peak this year but she ran a cracker against a well-treated rival in a good fillies' handicap at Newmarket (6f, soft) last week which gives her a solid chance today.
