Form & Verdict
4yo who has won four of her 12 starts and was beaten just a neck over 1m4f here (good to firm) last month; the step back up in trip poses a question, as does the forecast slow ground, but she's not ruled out.

Four-time winner whose third of nine in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, good) in May looks all the better now; midfield finish in the 16-runner 1m6f Copper Horse handicap at the Royal meeting was no disgrace and she's not dismissed.

It wasn't a strong Listed race in which she finished third at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May and the steady pace casts further doubts about that form; the handicapper saw fit to raise her 5lb and that spells danger in this competitive race back up in trip.

Her second win last year came over C&D (good to soft); career-best form when second at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on reappearance, meeting trouble in running, but she could not lay a glove on the principals when returned to 1m4f at Ripon (good) three weeks later; return to 1m6f will presumably help and might offset good ground if it dries out; one to consider.
