Form & Verdict
Positives to take from her two Thirsk efforts (6f-7f) but a representative of her trainer had no explanation for the poor run at Musselburgh (1m, good; first attempt at trip) latest; drops back to 6f from an easing mark; isn't discounted.

Form & Verdict
Ran green but took a step forward for a switch to handicapping when chasing home Highlighting at Chepstow (5f, good) a fortnight ago; cheekpieces added and back up in trip, so rates as a strong contender with Jason Hart aboard.

Pacey filly; has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f; runner-up) and Beverley (5f; third); seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit; likely to give her running and have a say.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye when fifth (two places behind Maasai Mata) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and unable to stake a claim in a race where the front-runners dominated at Southwell (6f) last week; retains potential from this mark and this looks suitable; interesting.
