Came away with a subsequent winner, despite needing the experience, on her 6f Newcastle debut last September; didn't look to see out 7f from a wide stall when a beaten favourite on her next start here and retains potential for a yard in good form.

Got off the mark in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April but disappointing in a couple of turf handicaps since; needs to bounce back to her best returning to AW and stepping back up in trip.

Reappeared with a smooth win in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April but she was only sixth of eight on handicap/turf debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; still unexposed but that was disappointing last time and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark.

Better with each of her three runs last summer and started among the favourites on her handicap debut/comeback from nine months off recently; didn't look to see out a stiff 7.4f that day and has the edge over most in terms of experience.

Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing.

Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap.

Signs of ability in AW novice/maidens (5f-6f) but has looked something of a work in progress; taken out of her intended handicap debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last week because of unsuitable ground, so this projected softer surface could suit; best watched for the moment.

Finished a promising third of 12 on her Redcar debut (6f, good to firm) in May last year, but then went missing for 11 months and has been well held in both starts since returning; needs the switch to a handicap and new headgear combination to bring about a resurgence.

Early signs of ability when third of 12 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 but she wasn't seen again until April, on Southwell AW, when impeded early and never entered the fray; may well need another run and will be eligible for handicaps after today.
