Form & Verdict
Found her level this summer and she has proved well suited by the step up to a mile on her last two runs, getting off the mark at Doncaster 18 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Largely consistent form on turf features a summer double (1m); not disgraced last time; has frame possibilities, provided she's as effective back on AW (third attempt).

Knocking on the door prior to winning at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in July and she followed up at Leicester (1m, good to firm); only fifth of seven back at Doncaster last month but that may have come too soon, just six days after Leicester; this 3yo could rediscover her progressive ways today.

J: Mark Winn

T: David O’Meara

Progressive filly who made her breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to soft) last month and followed up with a clearcut win on fast ground at Leicester last Sunday; remains unexposed at this trip and she's a major player under penalty in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Five wins in a productive 2025 campaign, the latest at Carlisle six days ago (1m, good); only had a short-head to spare at the finish there but the first two were clear and the Topspeed figure was good; goes well for Kaiya Fraser and escapes a penalty so she has obvious claims back against females.

Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game.

J: Kaiya Fraser

Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago.

Form & Verdict
Midfield finishes in three 7f novice/maiden events in the autumn; looks a likely improver now handicapping over a mile and her pedigree (half-sister to a Grade 1 winner) offers hope that she'll do much better this year; takes on a couple that are ahead of their mark so interesting to see how much market confidence there is behind her.
