Form & Verdict
Ran in three 6f novice events on good/good to firm at Windsor, triple-figure odds when beaten just over 10l on last two occasions; no solid claims from that but she now makes her handicap debut off the lowest possible mark; market can guide again.

Successful handicap debut at Brighton (6f, good) in August; that wasn't competitive but she ran well on her final 2yo starts there and 1m stretched her at Bath on comeback; shouldn't rule out back at 6f.

All five races have been at 5f, finishing closer with this headgear in her two nurseries but not close enough to think she's a player.

Form & Verdict
Easily her closest finish came on nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) on Monday, in which she finished a close, running-on fifth of six while Highlighting made more telling late gains to win it; worth another crack at 6f and there's a 6lb swing in the weights with Highlighting, so in the mix.

Started off in nurseries with two very respectable sprint runs on good ground but didn't fire at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and it's hard to tell how well she'll cope with this very different test.

J: Elizabeth Gale

T: J S Moore

Only fifth of six on last week's nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) but never really had a clear shot at the leaders and, after keeping on well, was beaten under 2l; another sound effort when third of six here (6f) yesterday; will enter calculations if she contests this race.

Form & Verdict
Looks exposed after her nine races yielded three seconds but no win; wore cheekpieces on last two outings when beaten a head at Chelmsford and cut down late on by Highlighting at Chepstow; both of those were 5f and there's more for her to prove on this third attempt at 6f.

Outsider on first three starts; on the other hand he was 7-2 second favourite for nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) on latest and made some headway to be fourth of seven (Redditizio second); needs to build on that.

Form & Verdict
Well held all starts, including on her nursery debut, before she was dropped back to 5f in first-time headgear on Monday and came from last to first in the final 1f of a six-runner nursery at Chepstow (good); back up to 6f and has a 6lb penalty, which seemingly demands more of her as Redditizio and Isthatu finished on her heels at Chepstow, but she's clearly a player.

Off the mark in a Chepstow nursery (5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but that form is way above anything else she has achieved including when last of six under her penalty at Brighton (6f, good) six days later; back down 4lb, but doubts remain.
