5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights.

A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb.

C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that.
