Form & Verdict
Two wins from six starts for Ed Walker, both on AW (7f, Polytrack and 1m, Tapeta); not at her best at Newcastle five weeks ago but this is effectively a drop in grade (despite being a Class 2) and she is back against her own sex; could resume her progress for new stable (sold for 40,000gns this month).
