Highly progressive in AW handicaps prior to creditable third of six in Group 3 at Newcastle (again AW) in June, all at about 1m2f; she's failed to match that back on turf (good; unraced on firmer) for her last two outings, but kept on steadily for a close third of 12 (on the heels of Rainbows Edge) in Listed race here on latest to give some hope for this new trip.

Mostly progressive filly who followed a close third in a York Listed event (1m2.5f, good) in July by making her breakthrough at that level with a narrow but fairly convincing success over 1m4f at that track (good to firm) last month; should be fine back at this trip and she's a threat if soft ground proves no barrier.

Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race over 1m2f at Fairyhouse last time; sometimes the form of those races needs to be treated with caution but the runner-up is a solid yardstick so this filly has to be respected on handicap debut; ground an unknown.

Won 9.4f AW maiden in April and finished strongly when second on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f) in June; moving up to 1m4f at Ascot (again good to firm) six weeks ago did not produce the scale of improvement which was expected but that was a muddling race and a stronger pace today could help her to make further progress, which is certainly needed.
