Form & Verdict
Went close in Class 3 handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and subsequent defeat in valuable 1m handicap at York's Ebor meeting is easily overlooked in this context; drops back in trip and swaps visor for cheekpieces here; appears to have been found an excellent opportunity.

7f Brighton maiden win in September 2024; yet to score for this yard, best effort when third in a rated race at Limerick last summer (6.5f, good), most recent run at Naas 10 days ago not without promise and return to 7f could suit.

Placed on five of her 11 starts for Brian Meehan, most recently when close second in Class 5 handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June, but has a point to prove after running poorly on recent stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Record of 1-26 but her win was at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December and she's finished placed at this track (1m/1m2f) in last two runs; did well to hang in there after getting pestered for the lead last time and she should go well again back in trip.

Made fairly encouraging debut when third (albeit well held) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in July and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground is excusable; hooded for first time here; should collect a minor prize.

Sole win came at Southwell (6f, AW) in November; ran below market expectations when fourth in a Brighton classified (6f, good to firm; 7-4) last time but she had excuses (saddle slipped and was struck into); worst two runs came on testing ground but they were at 1m.
