Form & Verdict
Unplaced at big prices in seven runs for Dermot Weld; back from break for new yard at Wolverhampton (7f) last month where she was a market springer and ran well for a long way before finishing a 2l sixth of eight, not far behind Missile Mac; has claims if building on that.

Two AW wins in early 2025, over 7f at Chelmsford and 6f at Wolverhampton, both under Rossa Ryan; her form took a turn for the worse, including for him, in the second half of the year but she didn't do badly in a slowly run C&D race won by Ashford Hill last time and Ryan returns to the saddle.

14-race maiden but was runner-up at Leicester (1m, good) on his penultimate run and ran respectably at Beverley (8.4f, soft) last time; mark has bottomed out now but Hollie Doyle is booked on this return to the AW and he could be dangerous.

Six-race maiden who has been beaten around 3l in Polytrack handicaps (5f) in her last two runs; those were respectable efforts but she needs to find extra over new trip.
