50,000gns yearling; travelled strongly before pulling clear at Chepstow (good; tongue tied) 11 days ago and carried plenty of confidence in the market; clearly useful and she's well drawn here.

Had subsequent winner Artista behind when a 40-1 runner-up over C&D but then dropped away to be 5l behind Ali Shuffle at Chester; wouldn't be without hope if tapping back into the promise of her debut effort.

Back to form with a bang to land 16-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, good) 11 days ago; that was an apprentice race so she escapes a penalty; obvious claims (due to be 4lb higher from Saturday).

3yo who produced some good runs in defeat in the first part of this season and she's on a tempting mark on that evidence; however, she's finished down the field on her last two starts and has to get back on track.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Craig Lidster

Dual 5f winner (Beverley and Musselburgh); couldn't match stronger finishing kick of Mighty Magnus (runner-up, beaten over 1l) at Musselburgh in June; is easing slightly in the weights but still sits 8lb above her last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Kept Ali Shuffle honest on her debut here before going one better at Pontefract; only second under a penalty earlier this week at Carlisle but the winner was an odds-on newcomer who looks well above average; good chance.

Listed win as a 2yo and she was successful in this grade at Ayr (5f, soft) in June too; no impact in a Goodwood Group 2 last time and vulnerable under her penalty, for all she's well drawn and will handle conditions.

Runner-up in the Group 3 Molecomb (5f, good) over C&D 12 months ago and returned to form with Listed win at Ayr (5f, soft) last month; however, it's likely she'll come up short now back up in grade.

Form & Verdict
Drawn wide on both her visits here but ran on well on debut and then showed bright speed to make pretty much all 11 days ago (good to firm); has a bit to find on the figures but could easily deliver another personal best.

Went close in the Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good) in May when clear with Wednesday's Molecomb runner-up, and similar form when close fourth of five in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) next time; well beaten in C&D Listed race latest but that was her first run on fast ground; not ruled out.
