Commentary

Thriving when completing a mares handicap double with a strong-travelling display at Warwick in April. Beaten by more than 10-lb rise in hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter the following month (plenty ran badly in very hot weather that day). Capable fresh and no surprise if she resumes winning ways.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Held its own mid-division in 1 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
