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.

Progressed well after winning a Cartmel seller last May (2m1f, good to soft) with two wins and two seconds, one of them over this C&D, and went up 25lb; hasn't been out since being pulled up at Hexham in October; interesting if fully wound up after her winter break.

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.

Out of form towards end of last year but returned from three-month break with pretty good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago, and it will be interesting to see whether this drop back in trip pays dividends.

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.

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.
