Form & Verdict
Record of 1-13 for Charles Hills, with the win coming at Southwell (5f) last April; good third over C&D on final run for that yard and she filled the same position on stable debut at Newcastle in December; same mark as for those last two runs and has each-way claims again.

Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta).

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Scott Dixon

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer who won two in a row at Chelmsford (5f) in the autumn but he's been vulnerable in last three runs; on a workable mark and this return to Tapeta is no problem but he needs to rediscover his spark.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.

Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form.
