Won a classified race here in July and excuses since then in handicaps, having found trouble at Windsor and then been interfered with early here last time in Recon Mission's race; this mare was only 3-1 that day.

Close second in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) in July and won a classified here (5.7f, firm) a fortnight later; held in sixth in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but had to wait for a clear run and the return to a shorter trip may be a positive; in calculations.

Experienced ex-Irish mare who was second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July on third start for Adrian Wintle and won by a nose and the same in a nine-runner classified at Bath (5.7f, firm) on latest, leading from Symbol Of Hope on the post and with Sisters In The Sky grabbing third; considered in this handicap, particularly as going back to 6f may well help.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023.

Has poor 1-52 strike-rate, the win gained on Polytrack (5f) in 2023; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he makes very limited appeal.
