Form & Verdict
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist.

Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless.

Went off the boil in Listed races at the end of last season; however, a break may have helped and she was progressive last term, with three handicap wins (6f, good/good to firm) and a good fourth of 18 in the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); can be in the mix if she's back to her best.
