Form & Verdict

Both starts over 7f last August, finishing fourth to useful sort at Doncaster (good to firm) then failing to improve on soft ground at Sandown; gelded since; interesting on the debut form and may still do better.

500,000euros breeze-up purchase a year ago; finished fifth at Carlisle (6f) in sole 2yo start then took a step forward with close second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on reappearance; has the best chance at the weights, with her sex allowance.
