Form & Verdict
Won a Bath maiden (5.5f, good to firm) last June and she has added two Listed wins to her tally since, at Dundalk (5f, AW) last October and at Cork (6f, good) last month; beat male opposition for the latter success and there was a lot to like about the ease with which she made up her ground; this track doesn't always lend itself to such tactics but a good gallop would seem likely and she's done well to find a race where she escapes a penalty; good chance.

One of three for yard and preferred by McMonagle; three-time Listed winner including over C&D last October; won another Listed at Chelmsford (6f) in May; out of form on turf recently but return to AW a big plus and nicely drawn; cheekpieces go on.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of her three 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Yarmouth when last seen in September; that form well short of what will be needed here but, as an unexposed and well-related filly from a powerful stable, it would be foolish to think she couldn't do better.

Won 6f Yarmouth novice as 2yo; has bettered that form since, with narrow defeats in Listed races on AW (6f) and turf (5f), and although posing no serious threat when third at Pontefract (6f; good to firm; winner took a Group 3 next time) she did enough to think she can be involved again.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each 2yo run, rounding off her campaign with a Listed success (5f, good) at Ayr's Western meeting; no problem with Polytrack but she has to prove herself over 6f and she has the widest stall to contend with on her return from 223 days off.
