Two wins last year (1m2f, good to soft/good to firm) and close fourth at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) most recently; stamina to prove now up in trip but her dam won at up to 1m4f and this lightly raced 4yo can be in the mix if seeing out the distance.

Form figures of 32122111, defying a 6lb rise when completing a handicap hat-trick in cosy fashion at Chester (extended 1m2f) three weeks ago; a fair bit more will be needed now stepping up in class but she can't be discounted as a thriving sort from a leading stable; has raced only on good or softer.

1m2f second last year on his only race at Sandown; second off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start was easily the best of his four runs on turf this season but his only win remains an AW maiden.
