Form & Verdict
Saw off nine rivals in good style in a 6f fillies' maiden at Newbury a fortnight ago; remains to be seen what the form is worth but she could do no more than win decisively; should give it a bold shot despite her 7lb penalty.

Lightly raced since competitive form over 7f at Listed level in 2023; well beaten in handicap and Listed races in two runs for current outfit but has undergone a wind operation since those; dual winner at 6f but may need further now.

Had Listed-race form at 7f in late 2023 but she hasn't had much racing since and while her comeback at Haydock in May was satisfactory, on debut for this yard, it still leaves her with a tough task up in grade.
