Form & Verdict
Outpaced from halfway when fourth to an odds-on favourite on C&D debut (good, 25-1, beaten over 8l) in April; in the process of building on that next time when badly hampered in a messy race at Wetherby (5.5f); still early days, but others make more appeal.

Dakota Dawn

J: Hollie Doyle

T: John & Sean Quinn

Looked as though she might do better in nurseries when third of five in a Ripon maiden (5f, good) in June, but it hasn't turned out that way; hopes pinned on the different surface making a difference with her sire 19-95 (20%) here in past five seasons.

She could be capable of better than she's shown in her first two nurseries (5f, good to firm) but she's not easy to fancy after those runs.

No improvement for the switch to nurseries when last of six at Thirsk 30 days ago (5f, good; played up before the start); still has time to deliver on the promise of June's Ripon third.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up both starts; unable to get to grips with the pacesetter (winner) when a beaten odds-on favourite at Catterick (5f, good) last week; on RPR's that represented a backward step from Yarmouth but there was possibly a rail bias, so she's still a major player.

Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in four handicaps for new yard this season; wasn't beaten far at Goodwood last month but she needs to find more at this new trip.

No impact in two Listed races after winning a fillies' maiden at Ripon (5f, good) for Archie Watson last June; hasn't threatened in three starts on the AW since joining this stable and has been dropped 2lb since last seen 80 days ago; others preferred.

All starts at 5f; no impact in two Listed races after winning Ripon fillies' maiden (good) for Archie Watson last term; sights lowered for this yard but form of three handicap runs on Wolverhampton's AW suggest this extra furlong will need to give her quite the boost.

Form & Verdict
£410,000 breeze-up purchase; no match for Queen Mary bound Zelaina on Nottingham debut (5f, good; third, 100-30); she's fully entitled to build on that, and this lacks a rival of that same calibre; granted even minimal improvement, she's likely to be bang there come the finish.

Improved with each of her first four 2yo runs, following a Yarmouth novice win with a cosy success at Sandown last July; flopped on soft ground wn last seen but that isn't the run to judge her on; absent for 275 days but likely there is more in the tank.

Fourth foal from an unraced dam; half-sister to winner Oosterpark (1m4f; RPR 83) and Sam Sarphati (2m1f; 59); lacks experience of competitive action, but her trainer has been flying with his juveniles (36% strike-rate), so she's well worth a market check.
