A fair 1m6f Flat winner but she's yet to match that form in this sphere and came in a below-par seventh in 2m3f handicap here 56 days ago; more is required.

C&D winner on soft (stays 1m7f); bounced back with a better effort when going close at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) latest; back up 1lb; represents the leading trainer-jockey combination at this track this season; big player.

Ended a long losing sequence when winning at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last month and she followed up there (1m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; also effective elsewhere and this in-form mare could play another leading role.

Ended a losing run going back to September 2022 when winning here (1m7f, soft) last Tuesday; her profile suggests her credentials for following up are questionable, but she had 3l to spare last week and a 4lb penalty may not stop her if she can reproduce that form.

Form & Verdict
Dual 1m4f winner on fast ground, the latest when 1lb lower in May for Michael Scudamore; acted on good to soft when third here (1m3f) on last month's stable debut; yet to race on genuine soft ground; return to this trip probably positive and he looks a likely player.

Form & Verdict
0-6; still early days and her peak effort, when second at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May, suggests she can pick up a race; however, she's been some way below that level twice since, including over 1m4f at Ripon latest, so there's a bit for her to prove.
