J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Bryan Smart

His only win from 20 starts came when long odds-on for a C&D maiden in March 2025; there have been plenty of placed efforts amongst his 17 handicap defeats and he has slipped to the lowest mark of his career; respected.

Won over C&D (good) in May and perhaps the return to Ripon will be a positive; however, she's been unplaced on her three starts since, most recently fourth to Zoustar Dreams at Nottingham, and she needs something extra.

Front-running filly who was second on her C&D reappearance (good to soft; acts on soft) before winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good) in May/June; freshened up since a lesser effort in Ripon in early July and capable of bouncing back.
