Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.

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.

Gained a first win in 1m handicap at Hamilton in May and backed it up with a solid third of six in similar event there 17 days ago; this Palace Pier filly can go well again off the same mark.

Had just two rivals to beat on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but she comfortably made all and this half-brother to connections' smart performer Point Lynas could have plenty more to offer; this unexposed 3yo may well take a 6lb rise in her stride; unraced on slow ground.

Disappointed when sent off favourite for her stable debut/reappearance at Newmarket (7f. good; first-time hood) last month, but made no mistake at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago; 3lb higher and meets some less exposed rivals, though the sole 4yo beat four 3yos in this race last year.

Sole win came in novice at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in November and she ran well on her handicap debut at Newcastle (AW) next time; strong in the market on her stable debut at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time hood) 13 days ago but proved disappointing; steps back up in trip and it will be interesting to see if her supporters return.

Inclined to pull hard in two runs in handicaps early in the year for Michael Wigham and no surprise to see a hood on for her new yard as she returns to turf and drops from 1m; this mark should be within range if more amenable back from four months off.
