5 yo Filly

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Raced exclusively at Southwell since joining Gemma Tutty, winning three 6f handicaps since December; often slowly away but last week's effort was particularly mulish, forfeiting all chance when loitering in the stalls; ability not in question but she carries risk.

9st 7lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Gemma Tutty

Five-time C&D winner who's slid to a handy mark after a handful of runs on turf this season; looked an unlucky loser back on Tapeta last time, when a slow start cost her off 1lb lower, and she's high on the shortlist in a race that may set up for her.

Hold-up mare who's a five-time winner over this trip at Southwell (two previous runs here came off much higher marks); best effort of a light season came at Carlisle last time, back down from 7f, and the return to Tapeta is clearly in her favour.

Stays this far but his recent solid efforts have come at 5f, the latest in a stronger race at Wolverhampton last week; needs to pull out more to defy this mark.
