Bagged her second success of 2024 at Hamilton (1m5f) in June and she backed it up with a very good third of seven over that C&D 20 days ago; she can go well again off the same mark.

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions.

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises.

Form & Verdict
A fair 1m4f scorer for Jeremy Scott who has made an encouraging start for his new yard, set plenty to do when a running-on fourth of 13 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; bold showing is on the cards now back up in trip off his reduced mark.

J: Miss Sarah Bowen

T: Tony Carroll

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground.

Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.
