Tail flasher who has looked a bit tricky at times but she's also won four of her eight starts; did it well in a handicap at Ascot (good to firm) in May 2025 and, with Ryan Moore taking over, she then justified short-priced favouritism in last-gasp fashion in two hot AW handicaps at Lingfield last winter; those wins were 1m2f and she's unraced beyond that, but three siblings scored at 1m3f or 1m4f; absent since January but those last two 1m2f AW wins make her the clear form pick.

Won two of her five races; has carried her head high and flashed tail, but she took steps forward over 9.4f and 1m before running away with a six-runner handicap over 1m2f at Ascot (good to firm) in May; 10lb higher today; further improvement seemed likely but she was non-runner (self certificate) for AW Group 3 in June; not seen since but looked good last time.

Form & Verdict
5-5 on AW, completing a hat-trick when gamely winning a Listed race over 1m here eight weeks ago; the second home there was an unconsidered 125-1 shot who went into the race with a BHA mark of 71 so there are question marks over it but the third home ran well in Listed company in France last month; now 10lb higher than for her Kempton win on her penultimate start but she could progress further now upped in trip (dam a 1m4f winner); contender.

She has struggled to recapture her 3yo best this term, latterly beaten 7l in a 1m2f Sandown handicap she won readily last year; today's drop back in trip and new cheekpieces could help, however, and this is probably her easiest task for a while; can't be ruled out from a dangerous mark.
