J: Oisin Murphy

T: Linda Perratt

Gave willingly to brush off a 5lb penalty at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) 11 days ago; steps up in grade (from 4lb higher) in pursuit of the hat-trick for an in-form trainer; no issue with this track, so obvious claims with Oisin Murphy aboard.

Came from off the pace to collar odds-on favourite and cause 25-1 surprise at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; only to due to go up 4lb for that but takes her chance under a 5lb penalty here and remains well handicapped on older form.

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.

Having dropped down the weights she returned to form with a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) a fortnight; this course winner is fine at today's trip and can be in the shake-up if backing up that latest effort.

Has a patchy profile but she's won twice this year including a comfortable one under Myla Coppins at Brighton (1m2f classified) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but her turf wins have been on good/good to firm and it would be a concern if the conditions become testing.
