Form & Verdict
Improver once switched to Tapeta/handicapping last autumn and her closing win at about 1m has been well advertised since (handed an 8lb rise); finished comfortably held on her comeback (hit a bit of traffic) and needs to improve on that on Polytrack debut.

4-16 on AW and 0-11 on turf, with no joy on either this year but there were two minor honours; acts on soft, probably on heavy; others have more pressing claims, including as she is unraced over this far.

Four AW wins include two here over shorter; has so far drawn a blank in 2024 but hasn't been running badly and she's been bang there on her two previous runs over C&D.

Has pulled hard the past twice, including when shaping with a bit of promise from a wide stall at Chelmsford (7f); has claims if more amenable now handicapping and is worth watching in the market.

Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip.
