5yo who raced over further until this year, and her three career-best RPRs have come on her three attempts at 5f; kept on well for close fourth of 14 at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month on a rare outing on turf, and she's an each-way contender if handling the forecast better ground.

J: Barry McHugh

T: Tracy Waggott

Scooped a big pot over 7f at Newcastle (200-1) last Easter and has shown even better form over 5f and 6f there since; however, she has achieved significantly less in two turf runs and needs to be right at her best back on grass.

Beaten upwards of 10l in three starts over 6f-1m on Tapeta at the end of 2024; makes her return from 15 months off in a weak race, but still only of interest if backed.

Form & Verdict
Interesting runner despite the long absence as she looked a nice prospect in winning a 6f maiden at Goodwood and she was highly tried at Listed level next time; the market should be instructive but looks to have only one to beat here.

9st 2lb

J: James Doyle

T: Charlie Johnston

Created a favourable impression with her debut success in Goodwood maiden (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago, striding nicely clear in the closing stages to score by almost 5l having made all; looks a useful prospect; interesting upped in class for second start.

Two promising runs over 1m for the Gosdens and ran to a similar level when second to an unexposed winner over Bath's extended 5f (soft) 15 days ago; this could be more his trip.

Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance.
