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.

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.

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.

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.

Gained a first win of 2026 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago, getting up late to deny Inspired having been set a lot to do; bagged a remarkable seven successes (including here) last season so merits serious consideration now she's up and running this time around.

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.

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.
