Form & Verdict

Well-bred filly who bettered her encouraging debut when close third at Chelmsford (7f, AW) this month, having raced prominently throughout; that form already makes her a leading contender here and she probably has more improvement to come.

Form & Verdict

Beginning to look exposed after six runs but was placed over 1m in Ireland during the summer and again ran to a fairly useful level when second on recent stable debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm); untested over a sprint trip and was once withdrawn with soft ground deemed unsuitable but still enters calculations.

Out of a fair 6f 2yo winner; 150-1 for last month's Southwell debut (7f, AW) but raced prominently for a long way and arguably shaped with quite a bit more promise than the bare form suggests.
