Her standout effort in three 2yo runs was a close call on soft ground at Beverley (8.4f) on her second start; returns after 293 days off but she should have more to offer now switched to a handicap and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look in the market.

Got within a nose of making a winning debut (at 12-1) over C&D this month but the odds-on favourite/winner was seemingly hanging fire in the closing stages; still, that was highly encouraging and she's considered.

Found just runners from the yards of Ralph Beckett and Charlie Appleby, who had the benefit of a run or two, too strong on debut at Nottingham this month (8.3f; SP 17-2) and it looks as if she'll have learnt plenty from that; the one to beat.

Two minor honours over about 1m last October, before battling her way to a novice win at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; the latter form has taken some knocks and improvement is needed on this handicap debut, but her pedigree (dam won the Oaks) reinforces the already strong impression that 1m3f+ will suit.

Promising debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last October; beaten even-money favourite at Newcastle later that month but still ran a creditable race; out of an Oaks winner so stepping up in trip looks a good move; improvement is essential all the same.

Reached the frame in her first three handicaps but her form has gone in the wrong direction in two runs this summer; may have been stretched when upped to 1m2f here last time but she's now 0-8 and others are more persuasive.

Lightly-raced Australia filly who got off the mark at the second attempt in 1m Newcastle novice in October; not disgraced when last of five in Cheshire Oaks here on her return but she finished well held in 1m2f Goodwood Listed event 20 days ago; needs to bounce back now going handicapping.
