Form & Verdict
Lost her way after making a reasonably bright start for Karl Burke; seems to be working her way back to form for this trainer, running well at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft; 50-1) last month; should stay this trip, so isn't without a chance for a place at least.

Got off the mark for her current yard at Bath (1m) but she came in only seventh under a penalty in 1m Windsor handicap later in October; may still do better.

Much better since tackling slower ground, building on her big-priced Ffos Las fourth with a win from the front on heavy ground last Wednesday; this looks a bit more competitive under a penalty but conditions won't pose a problem.

Form & Verdict
Gained due reward for her consistency when finally off the mark over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; raised 3lb since and, given that she's most proficient on soft ground (form figures 23231) and thrives for the handling of Georgia Dobie, she rates as the clear pick.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well when scoring at Leicester (1m Class 6, soft; from a 2lb lower mark) in May; less effective on Tapeta at Southwell subsequently; returns from a four-month absence following wind surgery; interesting to see how she fares in the market with ground conditions suitable.
