Form & Verdict
Her first two AW runs were quite promising (1m/8.6f) and she tapped into that promise when making a winning handicap debut without much fuss last week at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm); obvious claims under a penalty.

Completed a hat-trick (1m2f-11.5f) in June, looking progressive; however, shot up the weights for those wins and has found things harder the last twice; this new trip needs to eke out extra from her.

Completed a quickfire hat-trick last month, which means she's 3-3 since handicapping and switched to turf; won well each time, most recently at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; Class 5); now upped two grades off a much sterner mark but could well progress further; has to be feared.

0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort.
