Form & Verdict

Expensive to follow as a 2yo, beaten favourite in both runs following her promising Newbury debut (6f, good); sets a clear form standard on her return from a 227-day absence; cheekpieces now reached for.

Promise in defeat last season; won a Ripon novice by 7l in May (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and followed up in a three-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; one of her rivals lost all chance at the start); it's hard to rate that form highly and she's 6lb higher, but this well-related filly could have a whole lot more to offer for shrewd connections.

Form & Verdict

Sent off at big prices and has run to just a modest level in her two starts 387 days apart, the latest over C&D nine days ago; should find easier pickings once handicapping.
