Won a Listed race at York (5f, good) as a 2yo but she's 0-12 since and has had some major blips along the way; reappeared with fair fifth in Listed event at Kempton (1m) in March but Never Let Go was ahead of her in that race and the market leaders were well below form; only beaten a nose in the corresponding race 12 months ago but even that will need bettering today.

Useful 2yo; had some good form early in her 3yo campaign too and although her form dropped off on her final two starts, soft ground may not have been ideal; half-sister to an AW winner so the surface shouldn't be an issue; even her best efforts need bettering in this field though.

Progressive in 7f handicaps last summer; off for nearly a year prior to a respectable sixth of ten in 7f Chelmsford Listed race last month, followed by eighth of nine when 25-1 in a 1m Group 3; should be much more competitive on this return to a handicap.

Tough mare who won two handicaps around this time last year, scoring at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and following up at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days later; registered plenty of other good efforts last term and was back on the scoresheet with narrow win at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago; something to find on the figures but she's the type to make her presence felt.
