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.

9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed.

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable.

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.

Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is.

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.

Races prominently; behind some of these in a 7f handicap at the Newmarket July meeting but the visor went on back there 11 days ago and, in a 6f handicap she'd won the previous year, she beat all bar late player Sing The Blues; her close third behind Bintaryana at York in June is another key piece of form that heightens interest.

OUR TIP

Form: 2P4550 D

Last run: 82 days

W: 9st 6lb

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.

Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.

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.
