Form & Verdict
Front-running C&D hat-trick on good to firm last summer started with a win in this race; as good as ever in 5f events at Bath this year and a subsequent Listed defeat on good to soft at Haydock (28-1) can be glossed over; yard also won this in 2022 and she's likely to be on her game.

Completed 6f Newmarket handicap hat-trick last summer (good to firm); kept on well for fifth of 14 in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) last month and close third in handicap there (5f, good) latest; has run well on heavy ground here; improvement needed but the return to 6f can suit; not ruled out.

J: Dougie Costello

Prominent racer; C&D winner who completed a Newmarket hat-trick last summer (6f, good to firm); it wasn't a vintage Listed event in which she kept on well for fifth here four weeks ago but her mark has been left unchanged and another good run should be forthcoming.

Game effort to win a Newmarket handicap (6f, good to firm) last July and she is now 4lb lower; bounced back from some modest efforts when just missing out in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth 19 days ago (good ground; cheekpieces first time), pulling clear with a mare who has since run well in a Group 3; might not have to work too hard to get the stands' rail and she looks to hold strong claims.

6f maiden and novice winner on good to firm last June/July; ran further good races when fourth of 12 in a Doncaster nursery (6.5f, good to soft) and eighth in a Newmarket Listed race (6f, good); better is needed over this new trip on return but her stable is in fine form, including with two recent 3yo reappearance winners.
