Form & Verdict
Dropped 3lb in her two runs this year yet neither has been without hope, perhaps in need of the run on the first occasion and then poorly drawn at Doncaster last time; better effort expected today.

Won four times in the first half of 2026 but she has come up short in Class 4 events on her last two starts; 2-3 over C&D but perhaps a shade high in the weights for now.

Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta.

Wasn't winning out of turn when taking a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in May; didn't get the clearest run at Chester three weeks ago but that took his turf record to 0-11; others are more appealing.

Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved.

Two solid efforts for Roger Varian last summer, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on debut before finishing third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); not so good on his stable debut at Lingfield last month (after nine months off) but he looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

Far from exposed, having been picked up from Roger Varian for 20,000gns, but may not be the easiest and will need to get away better; hung left last time (only has daylight on that side from stall 7) and goes in first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie.
