Form & Verdict
Just one win since August 2020 but that came off 2lb higher at Pontefract (5f, good) last summer; returned from 249 days off with a creditable fourth on her stable debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago and has claims if she can build on that.

Won over C&D (good to soft) last July and is now 2lb lower; not written off but she has something to prove having been well beaten at Newcastle in March on her sole outing this year.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 32nd attempt when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago but she reared at the start and was never involved back there (6f, good to soft) on Wednesday; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to break much better this time.

Form & Verdict
No impact at Chepstow last Monday but that was over 6f and she made her breakthrough with a last-gasp win in a 5f handicap there (good to firm) on her penultimate run; looks interesting on this drop back in trip and she's versatile ground-wise.

Had excuses for her Hamilton performance 11 days ago (anticipated the start and hit the gate) having previously made a promising reappearance when third of nine over this C&D (good to firm); 1lb below her last winning mark and very much of interest back in a 0-55.

Inconsistent in 2025 and she finished last on her final two outings in November; however, one of her two wins last year came on her reappearance in April, so she's capable when fresh; not discounted.

Well handicapped on best form in 2022 but she's not finished closer than fifth in her eight runs this year; wasn't beaten far in a classified event at Brighton ten days ago but she needs to find more back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Aclaim filly who showed clear promise with her second in a Redcar novice (6f, good to soft) in May; was probably ridden too aggressively at Thirsk next time but she took another step in the wrong direction on her handicap debut at Hamilton (tenth of 15) last month; still unexposed after only four runs but she has something to prove on this drop in trip.
