Form & Verdict
Off 19 months before this season; her second race back (seventh attempt overall) was her best when off the mark at 25-1 in a classified at Southwell (5f, AW) and in quite taking style too, so she needs a second look despite her handicap mark having been revised upwards in a major way.

Missed 2025 but is making up for lost time and completed a hat-trick of 5f handicaps at Salisbury (good to firm) 11 days ago; thriving and may not have reached her limit just yet.

Missed last season but has come back an improved filly and now bids for a 5f hat-trick after classifed/handicap wins, latest at Leicester (good to firm) seven days ago when beating Dreambird Dolly by just over 1l; respected under 5lb penalty with further progress possible.

Form & Verdict
Wore this equipment combination on last three starts, beaten a nose in a Brighton handicap (5.2f, good to firm) on first occasion and making all in a classified here (5f, good) on second; wide draw and interference leaving the stalls prevented those tactics at Windsor three weeks ago; 5lb claimer is on board this time; should be of renewed interest.

Dreambird Dolly

9st 8lb

J: Liam Wright

T: John Gallagher

Got off the mark when landing a classified at Leicester (5f, good) in June; although she has gone close in handicaps on several occasions, she has not been able to land such a contest and doesn't therefore appeal for win purposes.

Front-runner who's barely put a foot wrong since the blinkers went on; has gone close a couple of times over C&D in the past and is one for the shortlist under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy.

Has a record of 2102 since wearing blinkers, the success in Leicester classified contest (maiden previously); just over 1l behind Dottie Diamond there last Tuesday and now gets a 5lb pull with that opponent, who admittedly is open to further improvement; important contender.

Modest maiden after six starts (five for Jack Channon) but she was prominent for a long way under Rose Dawes when fourth of 12 at Newbury (good to firm) five days ago and that was clearly her best show from three handicaps; first attempt at 5f for this drop back in class might also offer some hope.
