Form & Verdict
Unsuited by the drop back to 5f at Ripon last time but her previous second of six at Salisbury (6f, firm) represented improvement; her rider takes off a very handy 5lb and she should be involved in a race lacking depth.

Form & Verdict
Hard to fault her consistency and the addition of a tongue-tie saw her take a good step forward at Wolverhampton last week, making all over 6f and coming home 4l to the good; penalty to defy now but her talented apprentice offsets it; big player from a good draw.

Handicapped to the hilt since winning three fast-ground handicaps during early summer but she continues to run well and again gave it her all last week at Bath (1m, good); solid chance once more, though ground softer than good to soft would spell danger.

Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour.

She has recorded an RPR of 61 in two of her four starts, beaten just over one length at Windsor in May (in first-time cheekpieces); plenty of improvement is required to win this.
