6 yo Mare

OR: 98

Form & Verdict
Appeared suited by the drop back in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m, good) last month on her second stable start; this lightly raced 6yo could take another step forward, provided the forecast slow ground isn't an issue.

Looked back in good nick when scoring over C&D (good) in March but ran poorly and was pulled up at Uttoxeter last month (trainer blamed the good to soft ground); has become hard to predict.

Got back in the groove after three months off when landing a gamble at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; back up 4lb in the weights but she still looks feasibly treated and has form figures of 12431 under Tom Broughton; key player.

A dual 2m hurdles winner last season but she failed to take to chasing early this term before beating only one back in this sphere in 2m4f Wincanton handicap in December; she has plenty to prove after a break.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden (ran well on yielding ground there) who was placed in handicaps at Perth (2m4f/2m, good) on her first two runs for this yard before her second in a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, good); may not be far away.

Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Made it two wins from her last five starts when scoring here (2m4f, good to soft) ten days ago; has a progressive profile and there can be optimism she'll be fine now back down in trip; won over 2m in June; respected.

Placed twice in spring 2025 (2m4f/2m5f) but generally disappointing since; moves back up in trip after a quiet 2m run last month; cheekpieces (worn for last four races) are removed; others have much less to prove.

Tailed off at Perth in September on final run for Adrian Keatley but she's on a competitive mark on this year's best form and has a solid record here across both codes, including a C&D win last November; chance.

Won five times during the 2022-23 season, including twice here, and she's below her last winning mark; however, this year's form has been mixed and she's been off since July; others have more pressing claims.

Prolific in 2022-23 but just one win in her last 29 starts, gained over this C&D but off 5lb lower; mostly consistent without threatening this year, and minor honours likeliest at best.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.
