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.

Three 6f wins on the Southwell Tapeta this winter; has run well in defeat there the last twice but she failed to shine over this C&D in February on her sole previous visit to Newcastle, so has something to prove today.

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.

Won twice here as a 2yo but he found the handicapper in command on turf last year; last month's return to action here (5f) left the impression the run would bring him on; not ruled out.
