Verdict
Only modest form across 3 qualifying runs but has improved for the switch to handicaps and addition of a tongue strap on last 2 starts, 2 lengths third of 10 to Truly Glamorous at Windsor 12 days ago on second of them. Solid claims on the back of a 1 lb drop.

Winner of 7f nursery at Brighton in 2025. Again disappointed reverting to all-weather on return and, though very much the type to bounce back, she has to prove her effectiveness back at 6f.

Verdict
Left previous form behind to get off the mark over 6f at Lingfield last month. Wasn't in the same form in classified company at Bath or back in a handicap at Lingfield last 2 starts, though, and suddenly has a fair to bit to prove. Visor now replaces cheekpieces.
