RPRs in the mid 70s in all four runs including a narrow defeat in a C&D maiden in November and a rallying close fourth in a Kempton handicap (6f) 12 days ago; just about sets the standard back in a novice and this step back up in trip looks a good move; key player.

She has recorded an RPR of 75 in each of her three runs, most recently finding just one too strong in a 7f novice at Wolverhampton; didn't look the easiest ride on that occasion but dropping in trip is a possible source of progress and she can't be discounted.

Built upon her promising debut when a close third at Ascot (6f, good) in September, despite racing a bit too freely; now goes up in trip but that latest form has worked out well and she's a half-sister to a 1m3f winner; respected switched to AW on return.

Had been knocking on the door before holding on well to open account at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands a bit more here but further progress is possible; well beaten the only previous time cheekpieces were used but that was over 8.3f on soft ground.

Looked green but showed ability when fifth of eight on her Wolverhampton debut (7f, Tapeta) in January (just over a length behind Class Member), but didn't improve when filling the same position at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; can be handicapped after this, but she could play a part if building on her initial performance.
