Tough mare who won six times between March and May, including twice over C&D on ground softer than good; now back to her last winning mark but recent efforts suggests she might have gone slightly off the boil.

J: Mohammed Tabti

T: Iain Jardine

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.

Mostly a hold-up mare; two wins from just five starts here feature a success over this trip (soft) two years ago and another over 6f (good to firm) last May; on her third trainer when scoring over 1m at Newcastle (AW) in January but she'll need to be better than ever to defy this mark on her first start since February; this could set up quite nicely, though.

Form & Verdict
Scored over C&D (soft) in August and faced a much sterner assignment at York's Ebor festival (33-1) next time; this is more realistic and she has won over a higher mark in the past; has to be considered.

A real course specialist with six wins to her name at Hamilton, including this event 12 months ago; won over C&D again in May and at Carlisle in July, while 7f probably stretched her stamina last time; goes well on soft ground; plenty in her favour again.

Just one win (1m) from 13 attempts and unplaced all five starts this year; however, her mark is falling and she wasn't disgraced when a never-nearer fourth over 5f at Goodwood (soft) 11 days ago; today's trip might be ideal; could have a say.

Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.
