Form & Verdict
Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected.

Rejuvenated with James Owen, reeling off an AW hat-trick in January and making it four on the bounce when scoring at Catterick (6f, good) in May; only just missed out at Doncaster last month and it was 5f when beaten favourite at Sandown last time; now 3lb higher but she did look promising early in her career and Mason Paetel's claim helps too.

Only narrowly failed when bidding for a five-timer last week at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) and she's 3lb well-in on the back of that effort; whether she wants the ground slower than good is questionable, and her improvement has come at 6f.

Rampant mare who completed a four-timer when coming back from a break to score at Catterick (6f, good) last month; that made it 4-4 for this yard and she's still competitively weighted on form for her previous stable; impossible to ignore.

Form & Verdict
Four wins at 5f-7f in 2025, including here; back on her latest winning mark and she ran well over C&D two starts ago so can't be ruled out, albeit she often leads so will need things to fall right from this draw.

All four runs at 6f on tracks with a stiff finish and she looked well suited by the stamina test when successful on handicap debut at Pontefract (good to soft; has handled good to firm) in September; raised 3lb and off since but should do better as a 3yo.

Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut.

Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf.
