Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish mare who has form figures of 3411 for her current yard and she landed the odds with a comfortable win back at 7f here on Tuesday; concedes plenty of weight this time but she's on a roll and is a major player again in her hat-trick bid.

Legs two and three of her January hat-trick for Ian Williams came here (7f/1m); went off the boil for him and hard to fancy on what she's done in three starts for this yard.

A three-time winner early in 2026, including over C&D, for Ian Williams; not discredited on just her second run for current yard when fifth in 1m handicap here two weeks ago; in the mix off a slipping mark.

Form & Verdict
8yo who has not won since September 2024 but she's generally reliable and had an excuse on her reappearance over C&D two weeks ago (blindfold was removed late); should be sharper this time and could get involved if she gets a good pace.
