Form & Verdict

Had been finding little at trips beyond 1m1f and the return to 1m for the first time since her debut was a good move over C&D (good; hood discarded) 19 days ago when not hard pressed to reel in the long-time leader and win a shade cosily; up 5lb but seems likely to come up with more.

This drop back in trip may suit after two appearances at 1m2f, the latest when fourth of six on handicap debut (AW); sole turf run (penultimate start) was on good to soft; hooded on last two; requires improvement.

It turned out that she was highly tried in first two AW events, when showing promise at 1m and an extended 1m1f, and perhaps good to soft ground wasn't ideal when fading on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f; first-time hood, retained); should do better now handicapping.

Promising 2yo at 7f, winning on debut for Kevin Ryan and later close up in a Newmarket handicap; well held over that trip and 1m in 2024 though, and still has to prove stamina for this far; enough to prove at this stage for new yard.
