No win since 2021, when she scored at this track; some minor honours since on Flat and over hurdles but she came last at Brighton (sole run with a tongue-tie) in April when last seen; not the percentage call.

Scored over the extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last summer and was seemingly back in good form when running on well for third over 2m there last month; doesn't often run on Tapeta but could have a say.

Just 3-44 but she is consistent and has winning form over C&D; was returning from 87 days off when beaten about 4l into fourth of 11 behind Moon Over The Sea here last month and should finish closer on 5lb better terms; new headgear combination.

All four wins (37 starts in total) have been on AW, the latest last September off 1lb lower than today; usually held up and did not show on last month's reappearance; has had only five turf races, showing some ability but there seem to be more solid options elsewhere.

Sent off at huge prices for his first three starts but, with a hood added, he came from the rear to score by a neck at 25-1 in 13-runner race at Lingfield (1m4f) four weeks ago in his first classified race; now goes handicapping, also making his turf debut which adds some uncertainty but these are early days and he should have more to offer.
