Got up towards the finish in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft) most recently, taking her record to 121; could well have even more to offer back over 7f; one for the shortlist.

Scored comfortably at Newbury (good to firm) and her odds-on defeat at Epsom (good) is solid form with the winner following up since; still open to progress and has possibilities in receipt of weight all round.

Form & Verdict
25-1 and finished 13l behind Calendar Girl at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on her debut three weeks ago; yard's horses can take a big step forward on their second starts but she's clearly got work to do.

Yet to score but she was runner-up for the third time at Windsor (1m) in May and then suffered a very poor run when beaten just over 2l into fifth in 1m Newmarket handicap four weeks ago; merits serious consideration despite 2lb weights rise.

Yet to score but she looked unlucky when going mighty close on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in September; bettered that form, despite taking a firm hold and being a little mucked about, when narrowly denied again at Windsor (1m, good to firm; Tamzan second) last Monday; hood added and she's 2lb well-in; key player.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when scoring on Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW) in May; backed that up with a close call at this track (1m, good to firm) but her progress stalled with a disappointing run at Newmarket last time; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added; stablemate of Molo Del Palazzo.

Tapped back into initial promise when opening her account at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on her comeback 12 days ago; received a 2lb nudge for that narrow success and, despite shaping like she'll do better returned to further, warrants consideration in her attempt to double up.

Dropped away to be beaten over 10l on her debut one month ago; small step forward when fourth of seven at Leicester (also 6f, good) a fortnight later; plenty to find but this step up to 7f looks the way forward.

Some promise in two 7f maidens but looked in need of the experience both times, latterly when fifth of 13 at Glorious Goodwood on ground officially heavy that was likely not that deep; almost certainly capable of better but could do with getting her act together.
