J: Daniel Tudhope

T: George Boughey

Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement.

Form & Verdict
Best runs have been when in the frame in two AW nurseries (7f/8.5f); not certain to be suited by the return to soft ground, although has been gelded since poor run on good to soft at Chester in July (7f).

Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago.

Made the most of a useful mark when winning on Musselburgh return (7f, good; has won on soft) in April; has to prove as well suited by a stiffer test at the trip but she's still well treated after going back up just 1lb and the recent rain will not be a problem.
