Second of four in this race in 2023 and won three-runner contest at Southwell (2m, good to soft) off today's mark in December but both runs this year have been disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from her today.

J: Mr Joshua Newman

T: S Loxton

Close third of three in a Dunsmore open (good to soft) on her most recent pointing start, but her quirkier side was also evident this year having run out under two different riders; risks attached therefore, and she offered nothing on a sole previous chasing start (3m, 0-120) in autumn 2024.

Front-runner who went close twice in a row at Kempton (3m, good) towards the end of last year following an absence; tailed off at Chepstow since on soft ground she should have handled; needs to bounce back, but not ruled out with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Could be interesting in her second handicap, as heavy ground was probably not ideal when reappearing from a long absence in her first; did well in juvenile hurdles (on good and good to soft) and if as good as she was then this mark should be fine.

Form & Verdict
Drew clear to make winning handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March 2023 but not much has gone to plan since, and she has sometimes looked reluctant at the start (once refused to race); well beaten last month, after a layoff; others are much less risky.
