9st 7lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Alice Haynes

Created a big impression when scooting clear in a Thirsk maiden on her debut one year ago (5f, soft; RPR 83); sent to France for a Listed race on her second start but she could only manage fourth of the five runners, beaten just under 6l; subsequent absence slightly off-putting but that initial effort offers hope she might be a cut above these rivals.

Form & Verdict
Exuberant filly who won at Cork (5f, yielding to soft) last season but has disappointed in her two runs since (good to firm/AW); no sign of her settling down when beaten 7l on her stable debut at Wolverhampton but perhaps the hood will help in that respect.

Form & Verdict
Beaten seven times after his debut success over 6f, and when returning to winning ways at Lingfield (5f AW) he beat a frustrating 3yo who made it 0-16 when only mid-division at Southwell on Sunday; a 3lb rise may find him out in this better race and ground this soft will be a first.

Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf.

Won his first two last season, a novice at Southwell and the Lily Agnes at Chester's May meeting (both 5f; latterly good to soft); her campaign rather petered out afterwards and she'll need to be right back on song to defy this mark.
