Prominent racer who has been threatening of late, picked off close home by Rewilding at Wolverhampton last month and beaten under one length into third over C&D two weeks ago; well drawn but there will be pressure for the lead in today's field.

C&D winner; knocking at the door at Wolverhampton of late, second last month and then running a fine race for third back there 11 days ago when setting a strong pace and only picked off late; well drawn and another big run looks assured.

No win since February 2024; caught late by Latin Five (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb worse off) over C&D three starts back; less competitive at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton since; must bounce back.

Off the mark in a C&D handicap in September (runner-up has since won easily) but the field didn't come back to her when only fifth here two weeks ago; still appeals as being ahead of her mark when things set up more favourably; of interest.
