Form & Verdict
C&D winner who held her form well last term; yet to hit top form in two starts in 2024 (tenth in 7f Catterick handicap on latter occasion) but it would come as no surprise if she took a step forward here off an easing mark.

Three of her four wins have come at this track including a game win over 1m (good) 18 days ago; that was in a tight three-way finish but a 2lb rise looks fair and this drop back in trip is no problem; key player.

Often leads; both wins over 7f on turf, the latest in August, and he only just lost out back at Musselburgh (1m) ten days ago; has something to prove on recent AW efforts, the latest more than a year ago, but he had course form earlier in his career so there's a case to be made.
