Gained eight of her 12 career wins here (1m-1m4f) but has been out of form since her encouraging seasonal debut in April; drops in grade today but needs to turn a corner; often leads; tongue-tie removed after one use.

Form & Verdict
Opened account with hard-fought win in this grade at Ffos Las (1m, soft) nine days ago, her eighth run; might be able to build on that if today's step up in trip suits but may not be seen to quite the same effect on the drier ground, and her 6lb penalty makes things tougher.

10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred.

It's nearly two years since his only career win but he was placed in amateur riders' handicap at Salisbury (1m, good) 11 days ago and seems better suited by this longer trip nowadays; might be the answer.

Four C&D wins, including when justifying favouritism in January 2025; in reasonable form on turf this time last year (from marks in mid 60s) but has lost his way since then, tumbling down the handicap; latest Ripon fourth (beaten 8l) isn't enough to tempt.

Dual AW winner, more recently in this grade in January (1m2f); always on back foot after very awkward start at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in June but today's move back up in trip will suit and he's a big player if judged on close fourth in Windsor handicap (1m4f, good to firm) two starts ago.
