9st 6lb

J: William Pyle

T: David & Nicola Barron

Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today.

Versatile as regards ground; form this year features an AW success in February and close second at Wetherby (7f) last time; five-time winner on turf and C&D record includes two placed efforts; not ruled out.

J: Connor Beasley

Two good runs at Southwell preceded her Newcastle success in February (7f; blinkered first time); she hasn't run badly at Lingfield twice since, for all she has finished down the field, and this test may prove more suitable; key player.

Out of sorts when last seen in the autumn but has dipped to 1lb below the mark she defied at Thirsk (5f, good) last summer; well handicapped if reviving after six months off.

Off the mark in similar event at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last time; half-brother to two multiple winners for his connections, so should improve further; respected under 6lb penalty.
