Form & Verdict
Returned from break with good 5f AW win in February; not quite at same level in recent weeks but her third at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) two starts ago was perfectly respectable and she's back on a good mark now.

J: Ross Coakley

T: Lisa Williamson

Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.

Reappears off the mark she defied at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last May and has won first time up before; also a creditable third on previous C&D visit; no surprise were she to go well.

Form & Verdict
In career-best form this season, most notably when getting up close home to score over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago; won't mind if the ground is much quicker today and probably won't be far away.

Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company.

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons.

Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was.

Looked as good as ever when winning cosily over 6f here (good) last month and coped fine with drop back to 5f when second at Chepstow (good to firm) on Friday; obvious contender.

T: Christopher Mason

Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out.

Two of her six turf wins have been here, one over this distance; hasn't really finished off her races this year but is now 3lb below her last winning mark so cannot be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Ought to have coped much better with the soft ground with struggling in consecutive 6f races in spring but, having swapped cheekpieces for refitted blinkers, steadied the ship with very respectable fourth in more competitive race than this at Newbury (5f, good to firm) this month; not easy to predict but has slipped to a very tempting mark.
