Creditable third in both starts since making a successful reappearance; remains in form but is getting no respite from the assessor, as another 1lb rise reflects; has done all her winning off marks in the 60s.

Course winner who made a successful reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and again ran well to finish third of seven in a 0-90 back there last month (fourth and fifth won next time); up another 1lb, but still of serious interest back at this level and has won over this trip on the AW.

Sole win (21 races) was over 1m2f at Yarmouth last May but subsequent efforts include two seconds; left Alice Haynes for 17,000gns in October and came last of 12 (hood removed) when upped to 1m5f for new yard in February; now has a bit to prove over a trip this short.

Mostly well below form in 2025 but came back down the weights and has often been competitive since October; indeed, Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 16 days ago saw her first win since a C&D race in summer 2024; it's possible that she is on her way back but this is a warmer contest.

There has been promise in all three of her starts, including when fourth of eight at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) in April; subsequent wins by the first and third (twice) give the form some substance and she shouldn't have an issue with stepping up again in trip on handicap debut.

Two AW wins for Hugo Palmer last season (1m, 8.5f); finished last on first two starts for new yard but a switch to blinkers prompted shock return to form when 80-1 and second of seven at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last Monday; interesting to see if the aids work a second time.

Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track.
