Form & Verdict
Got off the mark in 1m Newcastle handicap and she backed it up with a very good second at Wolverhampton (8.5f) later in March; that form has been franked so she holds leading claims on her turf debut off an unchanged mark.

Won a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last February; beaten 3l when third in a similar event at Newcastle in January but she was below her best when visored for the first time (retained) there 28 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Won a Wolverhampton classified event (8.6f) one year ago; promising third in a similar C&D event last month, chasing home two rivals who have more than upheld the form; won't need much of a lift from the change of headgear to play a leading role.

Yet to make the frame in six runs, though she wasn't disgraced after seven months off when fifth of ten in 1m Wetherby handicap 12 days ago; she can build on it now.

Form & Verdict
Only modest form shown thus far, never-dangerous fourth of seven in 7f Catterick handicap 16 days ago; this return to 1m should suit but others are still preferred.

Went close off 5lb higher at Ripon (1m, soft) in May but that was in a four-runner race and down the field in last three runs; record now stands at 0-10 and others are more persuasive; change of headgear.

J: Sam James

Unproven on softer than good; has form figures of 112113 in handicaps, the wins gained over 1m-1m2f on turf; ran well on AW last time; may not have stopped improving yet; major player, provided he stays this new trip.

J: Sam James

T: Grant Tuer

Made it 4-5 in handicaps on turf this season when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f at Newmarket three weeks ago; that was his first attempt over this trip and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid if proving as effective on AW.
