Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner; on a good mark and he is almost certainly in better form than his figures suggest, hamstrung by some poor draws and then poorly positioned under a 7lb claimer at Lingfield last week; down into a Class 6 and he's a strong contender.

Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form.
