Form & Verdict
Had the odd excuse in 2024 but she was suited by the drop to 6f when winning at Salisbury (soft) last May and handled good ground perfectly well when coming from off the pace into second at Brighton in September; looked in good heart when making a successful comeback on Southwell AW (6f) this month; 4lb higher mark within reach if in the same form again.

C&D win last spring was the first of five victories in 2025 (this her first AW run since); arguably an unlucky loser the last twice on turf and she's only 1lb higher, so needs considering.

Might not be totally straightforward but he won a shade cosily at Windsor (6f) last June and it was a good effort when fourth of 12 over C&D (also good to firm) on his penultimate run; similar ground was blamed for a below-par run last time, though, which raises a question; still one of the more likely ones.
