Form & Verdict
Has won four of her seven starts and made it 3-4 on AW when coming from well off the pace to pick off the reopposing Queen Regent towards the finish over C&D last month; did well to get up from so far back and a further 4lb rise may not stop her; yard won this last year.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Completed a hat-trick on the AW when quickening away to win the Winter Oaks at Lingfield in January; perhaps something was amiss at Newcastle and could yet develop into something better than a handicapper; has won on turf and her stable won the Listed race at Haydock last weekend with a filly returning from a lengthy break.

Quickened nicely to land the Winter Oaks at Lingfield (off 8lb lower) ten weeks ago, completing a handicap hat-trick and taking overall record on AW to 4-5; progressive filly who could develop into something better than a handicapper before long; has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Resumed her progress back on AW last twice, collared only late on by the reopposing Oh So Grand over C&D last time; seemed to look about a bit on hitting the front so it's possible today's first-time cheekpieces will help with her focus and she's 4lb better off with her old rival.

Not at best on the Flat this year but won off much reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; RPR 80) in July; goes without headgear on this hurdling debut but has the raw ability to pose a threat if she takes to this game.

Very lightly raced filly who won a pair of 1m Kempton novices last year; beaten favourite but still made a sound start to her handicap career when close third (Dayzee a head in front in second) of five over 1m here four weeks ago; her pedigree suggests there could be more to come now stepping up to 1m2f; one of two solid contenders from last year's winning stable.

Reached a smart level on the Flat for the Crisfords (effective at 1m with give underfoot); flopped on hurdling/stable debut for Nicky Henderson in July but had wind surgery afterwards and there was some encouragement to be gleaned from her fifth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) 19 days ago; that could be a run to build on and her sole start at 1m2f was inconclusive; not at all ruled out.
