Much improved of late and she readily completed a quick hat-trick in 1m2f handicap at Ripon six days ago; shoulders a 12lb penalty here but she's still not taken lightly in her current mood.

Promising third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago and confirmed herself an improved performer with a cosy win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last week; unextended when following up at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on Thursday; 7lb higher today but she should stay and looks to have strong claims of completing her hat-trick.

Hostage to fortune under his usual running style but defied trouble in running for both 7.5f wins here last year, one at this meeting off today's mark; should be coming to the boil after two staying-on efforts over that same C&D this term, and did win third time out in 2025; very interesting.
