Form & Verdict
Made a most promising debut when running a subsequent winner close at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in January but hasn't really built on it in two subsequent starts, the latest over C&D 12 days ago (just behind Midnight Media); looks vulnerable.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Pat Phelan

Low-mileage 4yo who won a C&D novice in April; hasn't posed a major threat in two handicaps since but she reappeared with an eye-catching fourth here (1m) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Low-mileage 4yo; absent since creditable fifth, beaten only 2l, in May when making handicap debut and bidding for C&D double; may still have further progress in her; market support would heighten interest.

4yo who made it fourth-time lucky when landing a C&D novice last month; that was at 22-1 but she was strong at the finish and this well-bred filly is open to more progress on handicap debut; respected.

Backed in from 20-1 to 9-2 when fourth of 14 on her Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) last June; clearly has ability but her absence since is a concern and she isn't crying out for the extra 2f on pedigree.

0-4 but was only beaten a neck on her second start/AW debut at Kempton (1m) in April; two lesser runs since, including on handicap debut when eighth of 14 at Salisbury (7f, good) 12 days ago; first-time cheekpieces need to have the desired effect.

Form & Verdict
Both starts last October, stepping up from her Southwell debut when winning narrowly at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 18 days later; the form of that race has received a few boosts but she will need to improve again under her 7lb penalty after 163 days off.

Off the mark in a five-runner Nottingham novice (1m2f, good to firm) last month and probably put up an even better effort when second of nine back in a handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 15 days ago; return to a more galloping track should suit and one of the likelier winners.
