Inconsistent but she comfortably made all at 25-1 in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month and ran as well as could be expected in a Listed race at Redcar last time (7f, soft; fifth of six); no surprise to see a bold bid now back in a handicap.

J: Mohammed Tabti

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.

Has come from the rear for her two wins this season (6f/7f, good to firm; versatile ground-wise); looked as good as ever when keeping on for third at Haydock (7f, good) a fortnight ago and a strongly run 6f in a big field could prove ideal for this progressive filly; on the shortlist.
