Travelled well before asserting at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, opening her account at the eighth attempt; contests a deeper race here but is only 3lb higher; ought to make her presence felt.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Promising third on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month but she's taken two backward steps since; mark is sliding but she was beaten 9l over this trip at Salisbury last time and others are more convincing.

Switched to turf for last three starts and best of those when winning under Tom Kiely-Marshall over C&D (good to firm) on latest, albeit in a three-runner race; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field.

Made all to land a three-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in June; collared inside the final furlong when trying to adopt the same tactics in another small field over the same C&D last month and it remains to be seen if she can dictate in this bigger field.

Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year.

Form & Verdict
Similar form on all four starts, latest her handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) when weakening into fourth of five; tries 1m2f for the first time and needs to find a bit extra.

Shaped best when coming from last 3f out to second (beaten a head) over 1m3f here 16 days ago; up 2lb but ought to be more effective over this extra furlong; strong claims; headgear (cheekpieces) goes on.

Lightly raced filly who has been beaten 4l (extended 1m3f) and 2l (1m2f) in her two handicaps; has dropped 3lb and Harry Vigors now takes off another 5lb with his claim; should go well.

Won two in a row on AW in March and the first leg was over C&D; out of sorts in last three runs but the last two have been on turf; on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and one to keep an eye on for in-form yard.
