Expensive to follow since handicapping and didn't look the easiest when a remote last of three last time; the drop in trip, down another 4lb, should help but she comes with risks attached.

J: Liam Wright

T: George Scott

Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict.

Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f).

Recent efforts not inspiring, but she has dropped 6lb lower than when making a successful return in May last year and the booking of Simon Walker suggests connections mean business; blinkers (only used once before over hurdles in September 2021) make a return; interesting.
