Form & Verdict

Best performances have come here and she recorded a career best when getting the better of Helen De Pourtales here a fortnight ago; 2lb rise is lenient and a return to this trip should be fine; one to be interested in, even if her overall profile is a little patchy.

Gained a first AW win over C&D in November; hasn't built on that from her revised mark since and can be too keen in her races, as seen when a beaten favourite here last week behind Philly's Hope; might need a bit more relief from the assessor and will certainly need to settle better this time.

Form & Verdict

First reserve; in good form of late but was no match for Adapt To Dan here last week; only found one too good again here on Wednesday and one to consider if he gets a run; not an ideal draw this time though.
