Form & Verdict

Positives to take from her qualifying runs (6f) and when made favourite for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) she hung left throughout and found trouble in running; cheekpieces could make a difference this time.

Form & Verdict

Won a Yarmouth nursery (7f, good to soft) in these colours last season for George Boughey but well held afterwards over that same trip at Newmarket (Class 2) and Haydock (Class 5); balance of form suggests this mark might be on the high side.

Form & Verdict

First three runs at 6f and clearly improved for going over Beverley's extended 7f when snatching third on her final run in July; had a long time out and she's unproven under these conditions.
