Off the mark at the seventh attempt when justifying favouritism in a Beverley handicap (1m4f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb, but that was a dominant display and this well-bred filly has fast and soft ground winners on the dam's side of her pedigree; key player.

Improved effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third of ten at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm) one month ago; that was just her fifth start and she's one of few legitimate threats to Sarangpur.

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Mark Walford

Runner-up in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on penultimate start, and reportedly "failed to stay" when flopping at Doncaster (1m6f) a fortnight ago; yet to win over jumps (0-18) and, while this task isn't impossible, others make more appeal.

Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.

Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere.
