Form & Verdict
She hasn't had much racing on AW and can boast a record of four wins and a second from her eight starts; last month's C&D win came in a Class 5 and she had no real excuse when held at Kempton last week; returning to a fillies' only event could give her a lift.

9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed.

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Has two C&D wins on her record and also won at Wolverhampton in September (3lb lower); unplaced over C&D four weeks ago (Exponista second) but that race wasn't run to suit and likely she's still in good form; one to consider and a strong pace would enhance her claims.

AW form yet to match her turf best but there have been excuses on each occasion; game win in a 6f fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood and quickly put a flop in the Great St Wilfrid behind her when a fair fourth at Yarmouth seven weeks ago (6f, good); dangerous at this level.

OUR TIP

Form: 2P4550 D

W: 9st 6lb

4 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Not straightforward and she turned in some quiet efforts on both turf and AW when last seen; they were over 7f though and returning to 6f could give her a lift, as should the return of headgear; dangerous mark if anywhere near this year's best.

Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.

Form & Verdict
Won two of her first four starts but she's been beaten on her last nine runs; often run well in that period but something has been missing this year; she'll need a good pace back at 6f but this mark is well within range on her best form.
