Multiple winner at up to 1m who scored for the ninth time when landing a not dissimilar event over C&D three weeks ago; has never won off a mark this high but seems to be getting quicker as she ages and has gone back-to-back before.

Form & Verdict
Fine record over C&D, winning four times since joining Gemma Tutty last October; nicely backed when beating male opposition 18 days ago and a 2lb rise is fair; strong claims but with the caveat that she wouldn't want a dawdle early.

Quirky sort but she scored twice last term and wasn't seen to ideal effect from a wide draw when tenth of 22 in 7f York handicap last month; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark, especially if starting better.

Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins for Ivan Furtado, one of them here, and she's still relatively low mileage; first run back from a wind op may have been needed; has joined a new yard (same owner) since and she's a sprinter of interest; worth a market check in relation to stablemate Powdering.

Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender.
