Form & Verdict

7f maiden winner on fast ground; went close on her return in a seven-runner Newbury handicap (7f, good to firm) but limited progress since then and ran poorly last time at York.

These conditions suited when going close in a seven-runner Newbury handicap (7f, good to firm) on reappearance but limited progress in two runs over 1m since, on turf (at Royal Ascot) and the AW; needs extra to keep pace with some of these progressive types.

Highly tried after winning a Wolverhampton novice (5f, AW) last summer, her best effort when fifth of 11 in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (5f, good) in October; latest fifth of 13 at Chelmsford (6f, AW) was a fair effort, but she will need to improve a fair bit to win this; cheekpieces now given a go; stable also runs Yahsat.

Form & Verdict
Made winning debut at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in June and ran to a similar level when fourth at York (5f, good to firm) the following month; should stay today's extra furlong but has to concede 6lb all round.

She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark.

150,000gns breeze-up purchase; promising third of six to a stablemate at Salisbury (6f, firm; 11-4) two weeks ago, keeping on well; should build on that and looks a leading contender.

Placed a number of times for Richard Hannon and for this yard, notably narrow defeat in ordinary 7f Dundalk fillies maiden in December; below best on turf return at the Curragh last month, probably unsuited by testing conditions; tried blinkered now and drying ground to suit.

Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement.
