Won at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on sole 2yo start then didn't appear to handle that same track when seventh in the Nell Gwyn on reappearance; bounced back with 2l win in Yarmouth novice last month (7f, good to firm; The Third Star second) and is firmly in calculations for her leading yard.

Well held on her debut last November and not much was expected on her Southwell comeback early last month, when winning easily at a big price; hard to know what to make of that and she'll need more under a penalty now switched to turf.

7f maiden win on AW last April; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up short; well backed on last month's seasonal/stable debut (7f, AW), staying on best (fastest final-furlong sectional) for fifth in a race not run to suit; worth another crack at 1m on that evidence; may yet do better.

Her breakthrough win had been coming and it was her first run at 1m and in a handicap when merely pushed out to collect by 2l at Sandown (good to firm); could easily take the 5lb rise in her stride.

Has run fairly well in all her races and just lacked the gears to land a telling blow at 6f/7f; this longer trip is worth exploring on handicap debut and she's considered.

Promising debut (1m, AW) but lesser efforts on her next two starts; left that form well behind with a comprehensive front-running win dropped to 6f at Yarmouth last month and the form has been boosted since; could have more to offer as a sprinter but she'll have to work harder to dominate proceedings this time.

Unexposed 4yo who won a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) last May and she didn't get much luck when fourth on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last summer; now returns after 311 days off but she still has potential and is an interesting contender off the same mark as last time.

Left May's debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) miles behind for 33-1 win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and 2l second in Southwell novice (1m, AW); begins handicap life on a competitive mark and her pedigree provides hope she'll be capable of better still; one of two 3yos for her leading trainer.
