Form & Verdict

Beaten 6l when fifth of six on seasonal/handicap debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in May but might have needed the run; showed promise on final 2yo outing and she's bred to be better than this mark; interesting.

Won Catterick novice (7f, good) in April on her second start; only seventh of ten on subsequent handicap debut but she was slowly away; only 4-1 that day and retains potential; could bounce back with a big performance.

Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field over this C&D (good); clearly progressive and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop her.

Form & Verdict

0-6 but has run well in fourth in 8.3f handicaps at Nottingham on her two runs this year, both on good ground in April, and she's shaped each time as though the drop back to 7f might help; possible player.

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Ripon (1m, good) in May; it's a concern she pulled hard when no match for the front two at Leicester (1m, good) last time but if settling better she could be a force.

Returned to form with a bang when easily making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; she has an in-and-out profile and is unproven on turf, while she's 9lb higher today, but she could take plenty of catching if reproducing that latest performance.
