Form & Verdict
Sole runner on the card for William Haggas, who has a 46% strike-rate at Thirsk in last five seasons; leading form contender to boot, having shown clear promise in fillies' maiden at Ascot (5f, soft) where she kept on for third; should be suited by this longer trip; strongly respected.

Hard-pulling front-runner who can go to her right; her two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks but the drop back from 6f looks in her favour and she'd be a player if able to dictate with a rail on her off-side.

Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers.
