Form & Verdict
Ran a fine fourth (hooded) following an awkward start over this trip at Windsor on debut, form that has been franked by subsequent wins of the runner-up and third; should come on for that run and a player switched to AW.

Looked good in her 2yo win (1m, AW) for Paul Attwater and came from last to first when the 18-1 outsider of six on seasonal, stable and handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) nine days ago, asserting in good style despite carrying her head a bit high; up 9lb but probably has more to give.

Hooded on all three runs last season for Paul Attwater and looked promising in victory and defeat (all at 1m); this is a big ask on handicap debut after eight months off, but opening mark looks fair and she's bred to stay this new trip; one to keep an eye on.

Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again.

Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied.

Has run to a similar level at Redcar and at Carlisle, shaping both times as though the step up to 1m should be in her favour (backed up by pedigree); could have been better drawn but should run well.
