Form & Verdict
Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

Raced clear in 7f and 6f events on the AW last autumn but she was slightly hampered and done with from a fair way out on her handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good); should come on for the run, though, and no surprise if she shows to better advantage in a less competitive race.

Hooded both starts; never raced smoothly from the word go on Salisbury debut (6f) so did well to force a dead-heat on the line; looked more professional when third under a penalty at Thirsk (7f; also good to firm) four weeks ago and this stiffer test at the trip can suit; should improve.

All five turf runs have been on good/good to firm; won at Salisbury (6f) on sole 2yo start and she's run some good races in handicaps this season including a close call here (1m, good) in June; this is a new test on slow ground but she looked stretched at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last time and is not ruled out back in trip.
