5 yo Filly

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
She hasn't had much racing on AW and can boast a record of four wins and a second from her eight starts; last month's C&D win came in a Class 5 and she had no real excuse when held at Kempton last week; returning to a fillies' only event could give her a lift.

Latest turf win in September 2022 but she's won five AW sprints since and ran really well in a warm race at Windsor (6f, good to firm) two starts ago; lesser effort since but not ruled out.

Her last five wins have been on AW but she returned to turf with an eyecatching third over C&D two weeks ago; 1lb lower here and has claims if this sets up for her closing style.

Form & Verdict
Has two C&D wins on her record and also won at Wolverhampton in September (3lb lower); unplaced over C&D four weeks ago (Exponista second) but that race wasn't run to suit and likely she's still in good form; one to consider and a strong pace would enhance her claims.

Won a three-runner conditions event as a 2yo; 0-11 as a 3yo but there have been some good runs along the way, including her Wolverhampton third three weeks ago (fastest final 2f in the field); dropped 1lb but this isn't certain to be enough of a test.

AW form yet to match her turf best but there have been excuses on each occasion; game win in a 6f fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood and quickly put a flop in the Great St Wilfrid behind her when a fair fourth at Yarmouth seven weeks ago (6f, good); dangerous at this level.

Didn't look to quite see out 7f at Newcastle last time, having pulled hard early, and that was another solid effort; stall 10 isn't ideal for one happiest up front but she boasts a good record over C&D and this mark is surely within range.

OUR TIP

4 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Not straightforward and she turned in some quiet efforts on both turf and AW when last seen; they were over 7f though and returning to 6f could give her a lift, as should the return of headgear; dangerous mark if anywhere near this year's best.

Form & Verdict
Won two of her first four starts but she's been beaten on her last nine runs; often run well in that period but something has been missing this year; she'll need a good pace back at 6f but this mark is well within range on her best form.
