Form & Verdict
Has made the running a few times over 6f but has landed the outside stall back down in trip; had a job on at the weights last time and the return to nursery company will help for a yard going better of late but she's looking exposed now.

Inclined to pull hard in three 6f runs round Windsor this summer; perhaps the drop to an easy 5f will help on that front but there's stamina in his pedigree and his latest effort will need ignoring.

J: Alec Voikhansky

Useful handicapper whose form includes fourth-place finishes in the 2023 Britannia over C&D and this year's Spring Cup; ran poorly last time but may rebound in reapplied blinkers, having performed well in both attempts in this headgear.

Form & Verdict
Came away with a useful sort on Chelmsford debut before a run at Royal Ascot; odds-on for her nursery debut last month, only to rear at the stalls and pull hard behind Fragrance, and should do much better.

Below market expectations on 6f debut but better in two 5f runs since, latterly from a wide stall round Wolverhampton; may yet be more to come but time will tell whether such an easy 5f in a small field will prove optimal.

Didn't progress for the Johnstons and she struggled for new yard last year including a heavy defeat on her final start in September; losing run is now up to 14 and has plenty to prove upped to this trip on her return; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.
