Form & Verdict
0-8 when trained in Ireland but did show a fair level of ability; improved effort when second of eight on her stable debut at Redcar in June (5f, good); this is weaker and she has solid form claims but the niggle is the suitability of ground slower than good.

C&D winner who ran her best race of the year so far when fourth of eight back here (good) three weeks ago; another 3lb drop since then puts her 7lb below her last winning mark; respected.

Effective on fast and soft ground; well handicapped on her two 5f wins last summer but she's been out of sorts in four runs this season; has won here in the past but she needs to turn things around back at this track.

Won twice last summer and is 1lb lower than for the latest, but she is yet to get going in three starts this season (underwent wind surgery before latest outing); needs a resurgence.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner (good) one year ago off a 2lb higher mark; promising second at Beverley on her penultimate start and wasn't aided by racing near side at Beverley three weeks ago (finished behind Your Spirit who raced on the far side); can get it wrong at the start but she's more appealing than some.

Runner-up on a couple of occasions this season but it wasn't just a lack of stamina that did for her at Ayr last week (7f, heavy); last of seven in one AW outing; capable but risky.

Often threatened on AW over the winter but she's struggled since returning from a short break in June with slow starts becoming a major issue (reluctant to race at Wolverhampton on Friday); cheekpieces tried there are now left off.

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.
