First-time cheekpieces and a reduced mark when coming good again at Ripon (6f, good) in May and she was close up in Bintaryana's race at York next time; the latter form in particular raises hopes but she was off her game last time at Pontefract.

Two wins last summer, a 5.5f maiden at Wetherby (good to firm) and a 5f nursery at Haydock (good), before coming up short in two sales races and the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy; never dangerous in a C&D handicap on last month's return to action; others look better treated.

Best form has been on good/good to firm ground; dual winner last year (5.5f/5f) and she's been runner-up in four of her five starts this year, including when going close here in a 0-100 over 6f in June; her pedigree gives the impression this step up in trip will be no problem and she's a contender.

Form & Verdict
Game effort to win a Newmarket handicap (6f, good to firm) last July and she is now 4lb lower; bounced back from some modest efforts when just missing out in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth 19 days ago (good ground; cheekpieces first time), pulling clear with a mare who has since run well in a Group 3; might not have to work too hard to get the stands' rail and she looks to hold strong claims.

Struggled in Class 3 event at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, but she's a C&D winner who was runner-up here (6f, good to firm; first-time visor) on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and her last three wins have been under George Wood.

Races prominently; behind some of these in a 7f handicap at the Newmarket July meeting but the visor went on back there 11 days ago and, in a 6f handicap she'd won the previous year, she beat all bar late player Sing The Blues; her close third behind Bintaryana at York in June is another key piece of form that heightens interest.

As good as ever as a 6yo judged on her near miss at Lingfield (7f, AW); latest Newmarket third probably not the run to judge her on and she can't be ruled out, for all stall 1 isn't ideal.
