Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. On a fair mark but not guaranteed to back up latest effort given her overall profile.

Forecasts

Nogo's Dream (11/4), Al Ameen (4/1), Dark Side Thunder (4/1), Golden Duke (11/2), Grenham Bay (17/2), Treacherous (9/1), Skallywag Bay (12/1), Starproof (14/1), Tartan Skirt (22/1), Ithra (33/1), Cooperation (40/1), Inanna (50/1)

GOLDEN DUKE bounced back to form returned to AW when second at Newcastle 12 days ago and he's a tentative choice to go one better in an open-looking race. Nogo's Dream and Dark Side Thunder are both dangers.
