Made it four wins for the year (good to soft/good) with 7f Listed success at Chester in June; however, a career best is needed this afternoon and she may have gone off the boil judged on her last two starts.

Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company.

Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless.

Form & Verdict
Thrived between July and September, winning seven races in Scotland; shot up the weights as a result and last two efforts suggest the assessor may now have her measure; that said, she appears to remain in form.

When successful in a division of this race 12 months ago she was recording her seventh win of the year; just one win to her name this time around but she has run several good races, including a close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; solid claims.

Successful seven times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but she went too freely when ninth of ten in 1m Ayr handicap 13 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Sprinting filly who is 0-7 this season, albeit has slipped to an attractive mark; something to prove over this new trip but the combination of sharp track and forecast sound surface may enable her to see it out.

Scored on her only visit here (5f juvenile novice in 2024); good effort on her second start for this yard when third of 21 at York (6f, good to firm; probably stays this trip) in July; weakened on soft ground four weeks ago but she's not dismissed attempting 7f again from this career-low mark.

On a lengthy losing sequence but she has made a good start for her new yard, third in 6f York handicap before racing on unfavoured side when midfield over C&D 17 days ago; can go well off a 2lb lower mark.
