Form & Verdict
Both wins came from the front over an easy, turning 7f; no surprise to see her fare better, back from a month off, if able to dictate but she's far from consistent and rather struggled in the summer.

Now 5lb lower than when dominating from the front at Musselburgh (7f, good) just over a year ago but slow starts have become an issue in the meantime, and she was always behind when 33-1 for last month's reappearance run; looks risky back at 6f.

Twice a winner in 7f turf handicaps; 3lb lower than for last May's Musselburgh win but that is a result of ending 2025 with a whimper; she has an absence to defy and others look safer.

Couple of defeats as favourite since a Lingfield turf win over 7f early last month; should be suited by the return to the AW for a yard in decent nick lately and she can fare better.

Wildly inconsistent this year but she's yet to run poorly over C&D (one win from seven starts); little room for manoeuvre off this mark, under a 7lb claimer who's 0-3 for the yard, and it's hard to know what to expect.

Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break.
