Form & Verdict
Has pulled out career-best RPRs in victory the last twice, supplementing last month's Redcar success (on Jack Nicholls' debut ride) at Leicester last week (both 6f, good to firm); only 3lb higher than for the latter, and actually down in grade here; major player once again.

Sole win (from 24 attempts) came back in March 2021 and this summer's turf form for Iain Jardine has been patchy; however, she's on a competitive mark judged on C&D exploits earlier this year and the return to this course for her stable debut could be a positive; not ruled out.

Unexposed 4yo who improved on previous efforts when making a successful handicap debut with a tongue-tie fitted at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in May; twice well held since, but the step up to 1m proved too much at that track last month and she makes plenty of appeal back at this trip down in grade.
