Form & Verdict
Some way off the front pair on her Wolverhampton debut last month but got held up in traffic before coming home nicely over 8.7f; stamina on the dam's side and tonight's stiffer test should suit.

Won at Chester (1m2f, good) in July on second run; not at the same level in Ripon novice (1m, good) 18 days later, when slowly away; returns from a break to make handicap debut and she retains potential back up in trip.

Promise on her AW debut before springing a surprise at Chester 18 days ago; given a canny ride in front there (extended 1m2f; stamina on the dam's side) in a novice in which the two favourites pulled away their chance, so easy to pick holes in that.

Half-sister to the same connections' Desert Hero, who won on debut (2yo, 7f) and went on to finish third in the St Leger; trainer been enjoying a fine week and she's a likely looking newcomer.

Made all in a novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in August; that looked promising but she was soundly beaten in Listed event at York (1m4f, good to firm; 8-1) and last of six when 5-4 favourite on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft); those give cause for concern.

Thrice-raced filly who was soundly beaten in 1m4f Listed event at the York Ebor festival most recently; made all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) earlier in August and may still have more to offer; respected back down in trip/class.

Form & Verdict
Inclined to pull hard on her first two runs over 1m and didn't find as much as had looked likely when a clear second to Princess Rascal at Salisbury in May (messy affair); every chance of turning that round on 7lb better terms but has still to prove her stamina.

Most consistent last year (3232312) including a win over C&D in September; sent off odds-on when fourth of seven behind two of these on her reappearance over 1m3f here last month, but the return to this trip should help; high on list.

Consistent last year (3232312); easily landed a 1m4f novice in a first-time tongue-tie here in September and put up an even better effort when second of 13 in a handicap over the same trip the following month; has fitness to prove after 161 days off, but still a major player.

One of three to come away, behind a useful winner, on her AW debut late last year and built on that on her comeback (1m2f, again Polytrack) six weeks ago; enters calculations for a yard that could barely have made a better start to the month.

Two promising course runs to start her career; disappointed on final two runs in 2025 and she dropped right away on her handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton 17 days ago; dropped 4lb but hopes appear to rest on the return to Lingfield reinvigorating her.

Good form on her first two starts (1m and 1m2f on Lingfield AW) but her two runs in the second half of 2025 were disappointing; makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and she still has some potential.

Strong place claims on form of sole start at two/first start at three but it was a big backwards step she took at Chester last time (beat one home at odds of 8-11); moves up to 1m4f here.
