More experienced than most of these with seven runs under her belt, and she has reasonable form claims judged on an Ayr nursery win (extended 7f, good to soft) off a mark of 83; however, she was disappointing in a German Listed race on soft ground last time and now reappears just 13 days later.

Form & Verdict
Off mark at fifth attempt at Newcastle (7f) last month on AW debut and second nursery start, and solid fourth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) since; needs to transfer her improvement back to turf but she's shown promise on good/good to soft ground previously and is entitled to respect.

Won on debut at Leicester (6f, soft) last month and stayed on well for close second over Carlisle's stiff 6f (good to firm) last time; open to improvement now up in trip in her first nursery and there's plenty to like.

Form & Verdict
Something to prove after Southwell novice flop (7f, AW debut) last month but had shown promise on both previous runs (6f/7f, soft/good to soft; including C&D) and she has a useful pedigree; no surprise if she gets back on track with a big performance on this nursery debut.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Underwhelming on her two starts (5f/6f, good to firm/AW) since her winning debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in May; however, a break may have helped and she's bred to be suited by the step up in trip; not written off.
