Well treated on this year's AW form; however, she has an up-and-down profile and has a lower turf mark for good reason on previous evidence.

Form & Verdict
Only 1-16 but she's a versatile and consistent filly who is effective at 1m-1m4f; drops back in trip, having taken a good hold the last twice; possibilities with Harry Vigors taking off a useful 7lb.

1-18; beaten favourite her last four starts, but is holding form (3523), going under by less than a length to Virtual Hug over 1m4f here (same mark) five weeks ago; fine over this shorter trip, and has a capable claimer back aboard.

Opened account with clearcut success at Lingfield (1m2f) in December and has remained in good form since; may not have had enough use made of her when dropped back to 8.6f here a fortnight ago but still ran well; also suited by 1m4f; leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Not solid on her form over the last two months but is interesting with Kyle McHugh back on board, being 3-3 under this rider; gained all those wins in 2025, admittedly off lower marks.

8st 2lb

J: Molly Keegan-Price

T: Michael Keady

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.

Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f.
