Record of 7-24 on turf; made all at Pontefract (6f) on Monday, scoring with something to spare and confirming that she's well suited by soft ground; may well remain competitive, even with 5lb penalty.

Won this 12 months ago off 3lb higher before a good fourth in a Doncaster Listed race; this season started slowly but the blindfold was removed late on her penultimate start and she did a solo when fifth of 12 at Ripon; not ruled out.

Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove.

Best form has been on AW so far but, although she isn't fully exposed on turf, her tendency to start slowly isn't ideal for a sprinter.

Form & Verdict
Progressive sprinter when there's give in the ground and turned in best effort to win at Hamilton last week (2lb well in, despite penalty), after which her trainer confirmed the key to her is soft ground; big chance if the ground turns in her favour.

Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.

Gained narrow wins in a Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm) and a Carlisle novice (6f, good to soft) last year and put up her best effort when fourth of 27 in a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft); well held in all three handicaps, though, including on her Carlisle return (6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; enough to prove.

Won three times over 5f on a sound surface in 2022 and matched pick of this year's efforts when third at Doncaster last time; still to show the return to this longer trip is ideal, though.
