Form & Verdict
A fair 1m juvenile winner in 2022 but she failed to kick on in handicaps over a variety of trips last term for Freddie and Martyn Meade; jumped awkwardly and always behind on first start for her new yard after 12 months off over C&D (80-1) 16 days ago; hard to fancy.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (one of those over C&D); has shown improved form of late, winning at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) last month and beaten a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) two weeks ago; warrants respect back in this sphere.

Broadly progressive record on turf for current yard features good-ground wins at Chester (7.5f) and Pontefract (1m) last June; may still have more to offer and remains of interest, despite an absence since July; market confidence would cement her claims.

Turned things around after break when scoring over C&D last month and she followed up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days later; held in hat-trick bid at Pontefract last week but she travelled for a long way and found more progress with that creditable second; only 1lb higher here and she's strongly respected back at this track.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.
