Off the mark by a short head at Leicester (5f novice, good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; creditable third in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) on return 18 days ago and won't mind the drop back in trip.

Rewarded for a series of consistent efforts when scrambling home in a 5f novice at Leicester (6-5 favourite) last October; gelded, and back from a winter break with the possibility of more to come; shouldn't be troubled by returning to 6f.

J: Hector Crouch

The most experienced of these and has run well to finish third on his last three starts, the last two in nurseries; this looks to be an ideal opportunity to get off the mark.

Form & Verdict
Has shown promise on all her three runs, leading long way when second of six in 5f Nottingham novice 27 days ago; she should have more to offer now stepping into nursery company; big shout for yard among the winners.

Won two of her four nursery runs for the Crisfords, including over C&D in September (good ground); improvement necessary to overcome this mark but she can't be ruled out on her first run for Robert Cowell.

Off the mark with a winning handicap debut at Musselburgh in August and, after a blip at Windsor, she regained the winning thread under Jack Callan at Thirsk (also 5f, good) three weeks ago; up 6lb but she's got a largely progressive profile.

Won on nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) in July but she's finished down the field in three runs since and latest was on slow ground at Carlisle (6f) 11 days ago; still 3lb higher than for her win and she needs to raise her game at this new trip.

Won a five-runner race at Musselburgh on nursery debut last month but she underperformed, again trying to come from off the pace, in another one over that same C&D (5f, good) ten days later; needs to resume progress on this move up to 6f for AW debut.

Held in fourth in both runs and latest was in a four-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good), but she wasn't beaten far and that was a major step forward from her debut effort; this is no easy task against Utmost Respect but she's second best on the figures and is open to more progress.
