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.

T: Jim Goldie

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.

Ended her time with Gary Moore out of sorts but she made a winning start for her new yard in 2m handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot 38 days ago; she needs to back it up now returned to this sphere.

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.

Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February.
