Form & Verdict
Came good at 13th attempt, making all to fend off warm favourite at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) last month; should be fine on the forecast faster ground here and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive.

Won two in a row (1m, soft/good) prior to a clear, close second behind a well-treated rival at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Monday; she returns to action before a 5lb rise kicks in and she has leading claims.

Scored off basement mark at Catterick (7f, good) a fortnight ago, opening her account at the ninth attempt; should cope with this return to 1m and further progress is not out of the question.

9st 8lb

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

Front-runner on last two outings; not proven on firmer than good after three attempts, two before she went handicapping and the other on reappearance; it's therefore possible to forgive those and, after two wins (7f) and two seconds from her last five starts, she needs major respect.

Off the mark in a 7f handicap at Catterick (good) last month; second over 1m a fortnight ago but she took a backwards step at Beverley on Tuesday; needs to bounce back quickly but this is weak.

Triple-figure odds for all three starts (6f, good to firm/good) and hasn't achieved much; however, she now goes handicapping off a basement mark and she's from a family her trainer has done well with; could go well.
