Form & Verdict
Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta).

Has done her winning over 5f on AW; behind a few of today's rivals over C&D most recently, taking turf record to 0-12; enough reasons to oppose her.

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Progressed well once handicapping as a 4yo and kicked on again last season, landing a hat-trick in late summer, latterly here off 2lb higher; not at her best in the spring but this is her time of year and she offered more latest; respected.

Won last season's Portland handicap at Doncaster off a 1lb higher mark; she made a slow start to 2026 but there have been encouraging signs more recently, fourth at Ayr (6f, soft) and then second at Doncaster (5f, good to firm); form dipped here (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; could bounce back.

In fine form last summer, culminating in her Portland win off a 2lb higher mark; slow to come to hand this year but much better dropped back to Class 4 company on her last two starts; this is tougher than the fillies' handicap in which she finished second last week but she is a major player all the same.

All starts at 6f; won August Newbury maiden (good; form worked out) on her second start and highly tried in two subsequent runs, when down the field in Polytrack Group 3 and Newmarket Listed event; drops in grade for this seasonal/handicap debut and very interesting to see how she goes in the market.
