Form & Verdict
Went close in a Kempton novice (1m, Polytrack) last November and she found improvement when runner-up at Newbury (1m2f, good) on her return in April; finished third of five on handicap debut at Brighton but that form has been boosted by the first two since and she's respected back in a maiden.

Form & Verdict
450,000gns yearling; promising fourth on Newcastle debut (7f, AW) last November and she found plenty of progress when runner-up behind a subsequent Listed winner at Newbury (1m, good) in June; held in second when 2-9 at Yarmouth last time but she sets a useful standard on her penultimate form and has shaped as though this step up to 1m2f should suit; key player.

Runner-up in all five runs this year, at odds of 2-9, 11-10, 10-11 and 5-4 last four occasions; that's from just six races in total and she went down by just a neck over 1m2f on last two outings (on good to soft latest, unraced on worse) but she needs to find a bit extra on this handicap debut.
