Form & Verdict
Cosily recorded two more Wolverhampton wins last month (6f/7f), setting a new highest mark defied in the latter; handicapper swift to retaliate with latest 7lb re-raise, but she'd likely go close if running to the level of last year's best frame finishes on turf.

Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player.

Last month's second at Ffos Las (7.5f) is easily her best effort over further than the 5f-6f of all of her wins, whilst also reaffirming her greater effectiveness with cut; weighted to figure if no dryout.

Value for a bit more than the head verdict over Sharon Curly at Doncaster latest (7f, good to firm), considering some trouble in the run; up another 3lb and needs the cheekpieces to work as well again, but in the form to kick on now and does have spare stamina if required (stays 1m).
