Form & Verdict
Finished down the field in three runs this summer but she was only beaten around 5l in a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 66-1) last time; this is much more realistic and she needs a close look dropped in trip on nursery debut.

Two 5f AW wins last year; didn't get home on soft ground at Haydock (6f) when last seen in May and she is still to convince she wants this far.

Two 5f AW nursery wins in the final third of last year; however, she's been unplaced over 5f on her four starts this year and the return to 6f doesn't appear to be an obvious plus.

Single-figure odds in three maiden/novice events, with her best effort a 2l fifth of 11 at Pontefract (5f, good) on her second start; has plenty of speed in pedigree and is still early days but she needs improvement on nursery/AW debut.

Improved when winning a handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in September but pulled too hard at Newcastle next time; beat only one rival home at Catterick (6f, good) on her reappearance but she raced wide on that occasion and may well come on for it; drop back to 5f should be fine.

Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf.

Runner-up behind an impressive winner at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on her second start but was only sixth of eight on her return visit last month; now switches to a nursery but opening mark looks on the high side and she needs improvement.

Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Tawaazan (including AW; RPR 99); reached the frame over C&D and at Pontefract (5f, good) in April and he had tough task at Chester (Lily Agnes) in final run in the spring; returns after four months off but he's still unexposed and is interesting contender on nursery debut; been gelded and blinkers are applied.
