W: 9st 9lb

2 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Stayed on into third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago (7f) and evidently has enough ability to feature at this level; she looked a hard ride last time though, hanging badly left in the straight, and others appeal more for win purposes.

Emphatic scorer over 1m here in July; good second back here (1m again) next time but not in the same form twice since and remains 9lb above July's winning mark.

2 yo Filly

OR: 59

Form & Verdict
Her opening mark looks stiff on the face of it but she has looked a work in progress and is almost certainly better than she's shown; made some headway in the straight over 6f here last month (hung left when still looking green) and stepping back up in trip looks an obvious move; no surprise to see this well-bred filly leave her previous efforts behind.
