Form & Verdict
Took advantage of her handy berth when off the mark at the 21st attempt in a newly applied visor at Thirsk (5f, good) last week; reappears quickly under a 5lb penalty (claimer removes 3lb) over this longer trip; it's relevant her dam was a 7f winner, so must enter calculations.

Four wins at 5f-7f in 2025, including here; back on her latest winning mark and she ran well over C&D two starts ago so can't be ruled out, albeit she often leads so will need things to fall right from this draw.

Form & Verdict
Suited by the strong gallop when scoring at Thirsk (7f, good to firm; 11-1) in April, but has struggled to make much of an impact since at Wolverhampton or Leicester; needs to bounce back to form to figure from 2lb above that winning mark.

No win since December 2023 but has been holding his form well; runner-up in two of his last three starts, including at Redcar (7f, good to firm; 11-2) a fortnight ago; should have no issue with this softer ground with Paul Mulrennan aboard for the first time.

Both wins on AW, the latest over this trip at Wolverhampton in February; outpaced dropping to 6f at Redcar (fifth of ten, beaten approx 5l) a fortnight ago, so returning to 7f should suit; place chance from a competitive mark.
