Form & Verdict
Won four times in May (latterly in good style from Louis Treize here last week) and narrowly denied the five-timer at Thirsk on Friday; new mark kicks in this time (5lb higher than yesterday; 9lb higher than last week) but she has to be respected.

J: Jack Garritty

T: Liam Bailey

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.

T: Liam Bailey

Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player.

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.

Front-runner who won at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March and was runner-up on her next two starts (5f, AW/firm); below par in a classified at Bath (5.7f, good) last time but could bounce back with a bold show back down in trip.

Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective.

Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising.
