Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions.

Bumper winner who came good at the fourth attempt in handicaps but pulled up in a Class 4 at Wincanton from out of the weights last time; she was progressing well prior to that and could easily resume progress if back on song.

Bumper winner; second to Sweet Caryline at Fontwell and went one better when getting up in the nick of time at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft); up 4lb and add another 1lb for being out of the weights; clearly a contender.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; has place possibilities on bits of form but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort and this is a big drop back in trip; last three starts over 3m1f at Plumpton.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates.

All four wins at about this trip in 2023, including over C&D; not totally clear whether she's still the same mare since back from an absence but she gave Moon Over The Sea some grief at Windsor (about 1m3f, good to firm) on her recent return to turf and has another good run in her.
