Just one win to her name from 26 starts but she usually runs well and comes into the race on the back of two placed efforts over this trip (here on first occasion); should go well again.

Weighted to her best still, despite having run poorly in two starts back; the visor worn for last year's three wins returns today, which is an obvious plus point and could bring about an improved showing.

Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton last week; all three of his wins have come over that C&D, however, and he's 0-10 on turf; not an obvious candidate to follow up.

0-16; placed here over 6f in July and backed that up when third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) next time; not seen since a well-beaten favourite at Brighton (6f, good) in August; needs to bounce back after a break.

Form & Verdict
Overcame a wide stall to win a Catterick 0-60 last week (6f, good to firm; tongue tied for the first time); finished just behind Athollblair Boy at Doncaster on penultimate start; penalty to contend with but her rider is good value for his claim in these races and she should remain competitive.

All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise.
