Form & Verdict
Has done well since rejoining Iain Jardine, with a near miss over C&D ten days ago followed by a win in another classified event at Southwell (6f) last Thursday; has a penalty for that success but she won with plenty to spare and is a major player again back in a handicap.

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.

Not the most consistent but he won a classified event here last month and was runner-up in a C&D handicap on Friday; this is a quick turnaround but that was an eyecatching effort last time and he looks interesting if he can back that up.
