Form & Verdict
Back from long absence when making all off a reduced mark on stable debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she held off a clear second and a 3lb rise looks fair; respected in her bid to make it 2-2 for James Owen.

Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected.

Thrown in on her best form for Georgina Nicholls and she made it 2-2 for new connections with a Lingfield win that was more commanding than the winning distance might suggest; 1lb wrong under a penalty but surprising if there isn't a fair bit left in the tank.

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner (6f/7f), who returned after 117 days off with a close second over C&D 17 days ago; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she's an interesting contender off an unchanged mark.

Two turf wins last summer, including C&D, and she added a 7f handicap at Kempton to her tally in February; back to a winning mark and can't be discounted, but fast ground is a slight concern.
