Form & Verdict
0-9 but she kept on well for second at Newcastle on her penultimate start despite having raced too freely; again inclined to over-race at Wolverhampton 18 days ago and ran creditably given she was caught wide throughout; the addition of a hood could help and she's unexposed compared to most in here.

Off the mark at the tenth attempt when landing a 6f handicap at Southwell on March 1; creditable third here last time in a Class 5 handicap; needs to settle to see out 7f but this is a drop in grade and she's high on the list; Oisin Orr replaces a 7lb claimer.

Just missed out over C&D last month and had an excuse at Wolverhampton ten days later (caught wide); made no mistake at Southwell last week (hooded for the first time), coming home nicely on top to gain her breakthrough win; escapes a penalty for that success and there could be more to come in this headgear.

Often flattered to deceive for Henry Candy and he ended his time with that yard with three disappointing efforts (sold for 1,000gns in January); the handicapper has eased his burden and Tony Carroll might find the key to him at some point; races without his usual tongue tie.

11 wins down the years, two of them at Wolverhampton last summer; fully effective over C&D and although his record this year (all six runs in classified events) has been mixed, he did shape better over 7f 11 days ago; bold bid expected back down in trip.

Prominent racer with two turf wins to his name (6f and 5f) when trained by Craig Lidster; ran right up to his best when a close third of 14 at Ripon when last seen 543 days ago; dropped 2lb during his long absence and he's an intriguing contender on his first run for Seb Spencer (same owners); betting should be a good guide.

Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return.

Two C&D wins for Richard Spencer last winter; she's added three 6f wins at Wolverhampton this year and her last two defeats both have mitigating circumstances; has the ability to feature at this level but she doesn't help herself at the start and will need them to be coming back to her.
