Form & Verdict
Back-to-back handicap wins over 3m2f at Stratford and Newton Abbot (good), having to dig a little deeper the last time; still looks reasonably treated after a 4lb rise and tight tracks clearly suit her well.

3-3 since upped to staying trips in May, including a good-ground C&D win two starts ago; also has form on slow ground and might still be on the upgrade; commands respect in current mood.

Won a 2m7f novice at Uttoxeter (good) for Dan Skelton in 2020; added a point to his tally this spring but he's struggled back over hurdles in both runs for current yard; dropped another 3lb but he's found it tough going in handicaps and looks opposable back from a break.
