Form & Verdict

Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Reappeared with a win over C&D in April and she followed up with a comfortable success at Redcar (7f, good to firm); flopped in hat-trick bid over C&D two weeks ago but she still looks on a workable mark and could be a big factor if she can bounce back from that blip.
