Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of her debut second (5f, good) to win at Carlisle in July (7f, good to soft), and she was third of five in a valuable novice at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; begins handicap life on a fair mark and could continue to improve for her top northern trainer.

Two 7f wins on good to soft last term, making all in an Ayr nursery on second occasion, but that productive season ended with a disappointing show in 1m Listed race at Newmarket; market can guide on this belated reappearance, with her stable also running Samra Green.

Like so many of her stable's 2yos she's having a productive season, and she posted a personal best when making all in nursery at Ayr (7f, good to soft) in September; not many of these have shown better form and she should be just as effective back at 1m.

Two wins from her three nursery starts, the latest at Catterick (7f, soft) in July when coming clear with one who has franked the form since; did it cosily last time and could take a 7lb rise in her stride.

Form & Verdict
Has made the frame in novice/maiden races on her last three starts, most recently keeping on well for third when upped to 7f at Lingfield (AW); today's slow ground will provide a stiffer test of stamina and that may well be to her liking; not ruled out on nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to make all by half a length at Carlisle (6f, soft) ten days ago on her second nursery start, beating one who has posted wins either side; kept on well on that occasion and her dam was a 7f winner, both of which bode well for this step up in trip; respected under 6lb penalty.

150,000gns breeze-up buy who impressed on debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in July; underwhelming favourite in Salisbury novice (1m, good to firm) since but may have been feeling the ground (hung left); her very useful half-brother Nautical Force won on soft ground; has Group-race entries and retains potential for trainer who won this last year; possible player on nursery debut.

Couldn't quite see out 1m in similar event at Newmarket last time, taking record since debut win (7f) to 0-5, and may ideally need a drop back in distance; either way, needs some improvement off a mark that hasn't changed this term.

Hasn't lived up to her striking debut success at Yarmouth (7f, good) last July, but after a poor comeback last month she was much better when third of 11 at Kempton (1m, AW) a fortnight ago; interesting that day's first-time hood is already dispensed with, but she'll be firmly in contention if stepping forward again.
