Form & Verdict
Sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f in a classified on Wolverhampton Tapeta in March; third in classifieds on three of her four starts since, with recent form not looking quite good enough to win this handicap but she raced wide last time and peak efforts give her a shout.

Thriving mare who has won four in a row this summer and hit another personal best with her emphatic success here (1m5f, AW) on Saturday; turns out quickly under a double penalty but she still looks ahead of the game and is unexposed at this trip; key player.

Came away with an in-form rival when completing the hat-trick at Ffos Las on Wednesday (enjoyed the run of the race; now 2-2 for Millie Wonnacott); maybe won't go up by as much as the 5lb penalty when reassessed but a fair chance of going in again.
