Form & Verdict

Impressive at Beverley (5f, soft) last September on sole 2yo start and readily justified odds-on favouritism in four-runner Pontefract novice (6f, good) last month; this is a steep rise in grade but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie; she's one to consider.

Hello Youmzain filly who created an excellent impression when making a winning debut in 5f Beverley novice in September, drawing clear last 1f; she looks to have plenty more to offer this year and is the one to beat.

Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet.

Reserve; she has built on her 2yo form in two runs this season, finishing third in a handicap and a Listed race (not clear run) at Sandown (both 5f, good); wouldn't be out of this if getting a run; hood tried for the first time.
