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.

This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist.

Her last four wins have come at this track, with two of them (7f/1m) last month; drawn wide when down the field at Chester two weeks ago but she has fared better on that front today; big run on the cards.

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.

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.
