8st 10lb

J: William Carson

T: Andy Irvine

A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for.

J: Jude Fernandes

T: Andy Irvine

Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay.

J: Oliver Stammers

Well beaten at Catterick last time but that was over 7f and she was in pretty good heart over sprint distances last month; went close on soft ground last October and she's one to consider now back down in trip.

J: P J McDonald

T: Grant Tuer

Sole win came as a juvenile (maiden) in June 2023 but she did have a near miss from a 6lb higher mark at Redcar (6f, soft; 66-1) last October; in the frame on her last two starts so this extra furlong is worth exploring.
