Form & Verdict

Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024.

Form & Verdict
In a good run of form, and after winning comfortably at Lingfield (5f) she only just missed out on the placings at Brighton (5.5f, good) after getting competitive some way out; 1lb lower for this and should be on the scene.

C&D winner (firm) who was third back over C&D on her reappearance in May and ran to a similar level back here next time; produced a career-best effort when winning a Chepstow classified event (5f, good to firm) latest; needs a similar effort to defy this mark back in a handicap but there are plenty of positives, including with her yard among the winners.
