Has made the frame plenty of times since AW maiden win, close third at Thirsk most recently; 0-16 in handicaps but holds a fighting chance off unaltered mark, which is 12lb lower than opening one.

AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt when making all under Lewis Chalkley in an Ayr apprentice handicap (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; 4lb well in and dropping in trip shouldn't be a problem, but whether she will be allowed her own way again is debatable.

Didn't have things go smoothly but stuck on positively down the outer when closing third (Canaria Queen second) at Ripon (5f, good) a fortnight ago; two of his three wins have been at tracks with a stiff uphill finish (Beverley and Leicester) and he's handicapped to go close at the least.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't won since landing a maiden on her second start in May 2024 but is proving most consistent this year, making the frame on all five starts; ran her best race when second of nine at Beverley (5f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but is starting to look exposed.
