0-9 since her two wins in August 2023 but currently in a consistent vein of form; raced mainly at sprint distances but ran respectably over 7f at Leicester (heavy) most recently and again has frame possibilities.

Stablemate of Glorious Angel; the winner of four of her last seven starts, all from the front, and she should be able to grab the stands' rail from stall 13 if necessary; good to soft no problem but she will need to step up on her recent Newmarket fifth.

The winner of three of her seven races (6f, twice on good to firm, once on AW); still feasibly handicapped on June's Nottingham win and the drop to 5f didn't seem to suit her last time; below par in one run on good to soft so underfoot conditions could prove an issue.

Found late reserves to win this race (soft) 12 months ago but her form this year has been rather ragged; ran well enough for a long way back over C&D recently but her finish lacked the conviction of old and the fitting of headgear raises questions.

Runner-up in 6f Listed races on the other course here and at Salisbury in the spring, but she hasn't been quite on song since, even allowing for some interference when third to Quinault at Chester last time; needs to bounce back but she's certainly a contender on her best form.

Form & Verdict
6f maiden winner as a 2yo; form has taken off the last twice, easily winning over 7f at Carlisle (soft) in June and creating an even bigger impression at Pontefract three weeks ago (6f, good); that was a stronger grade and against male opposition, and the way she went through the race offers hope that this sharper track won't be an issue; strong claims.
