Seemingly back in good form when third to Gal at Leicester (7f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month but two lesser efforts have followed (1m/7f) and she now has questions to answer again; headgear removed.

Just the one win from 15 starts, gained over 6f on good ground; however, last week's C&D run was the second time she's finished runner-up on soft and a repeat won't see her far away.

Yet to win this season but went close here (7.3f, good) last month and was denied a clear run when fifth of 11 at Bath (1m, good) nine days ago; also ran well the only time she encountered soft ground (unraced on heavy); can make her presence felt.

Generally disappointing this season but lost out by only a head off her basement mark at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and is probably worth another crack at 1m; contender if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Northern raider who is yet to win this season but has slipped to a good mark and was persistently denied a clear run when midfield at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; first-time visor) last week; rain will aid her cause and she can be dangerous if her luck improves.

Best spell of her career was around this time in 2025, including a second here (7.5f, good to firm) and a career-best win at Musselburgh (7f, soft) when 11lb higher; has had a largely underwhelming 2026 by comparison but her Ffos Las third last month suggests she shouldn't be written off.

The pick of her eight runs came over C&D last September; she hasn't run badly in 7.4f handicaps at Ffos Las on her last two starts (blinkered) and dropping back in trip can help; interesting in a change of headgear.
