Form & Verdict
Looks fairly exposed after 11 starts but she won at Leicester three runs back, had tactical excuses here next time and showed her best form when close third at Newmarket on latest, all over 1m2f; effective on varied ground; probably on the premises.

Four 1m2f wins (three on soft) in 2023 but she ran moderately last year on both races on heavy; not seen this year until August and uncompetitive both starts, with minimal response from the handicapper, so others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; thereabouts on four consecutive runs (three in handicaps) up to 7.3f this May-August but the move up to 1m2f did not work out at Ffos Las when 5-4 favourite on latest outing, despite stamina in the family; perhaps worth another chance.

Plenty of short-priced defeats to her name but doesn't do anything wrong and the cheekpieces have helped, with two Kempton wins from the front this summer; has a career-high mark to overcome, having gone up another 3lb for her Sandown near-miss.
