Two minor wins on the AW over 7f; the form of her Yarmouth third has worked out well (7f, good) and her Kempton effort was too bad to be taken seriously; commands respect on that penultimate effort.

Won twice in maiden/novice company last summer, including over C&D; improved effort when third of ten behind Shin Jidai on her Yarmouth reappearance (7f, good) four weeks ago, form that has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second, fourth and sixth; 2lb turnaround in the weights perhaps not enough to reverse the placings.

Lightly raced 3yo who made it 2-3 for the year when beating 13 rivals to win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; also effective on good to soft and good to firm; that latest win can be upgraded as she had to wait for a clear run, and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient; firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
5-4 favourite when third of nine at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) but was beaten much further at Ripon (6f) when tried in a tongue-tie; probably needs to find a bit even on that initial effort but the AW could suit, as might an extra furlong.

Hooded for both her runs, showing similar sort of form over C&D and then at Beverley; has raced keenly and hung under pressure, so could do with ironing out those traits.

Placed on her first two starts (Wolverhampton & Beverley; 7f-7.5f); had a valid excuse - bumped at the start - for a laboured effort last time; while she doesn't necessarily appear to be an obvious winner in waiting, this is a modest affair in which to seek to make the transition to nurseries.
