Comment: Without a win since summer 2023, having raced mainly over much shorter trips in the meantime, but made bold bid from the front when second over C&D (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; major player.

Comment: Yet to add to her AW nursery win in 2023 but ran fairly well on both starts for new stable last month, more recently when last of three at Pontefract (1m2f, good); another 1lb lower here; probably won't be far away.

Comment: Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark.
