Form & Verdict
Ran twice in France last year, fair form when making most on second start; drawn wide at Lingfield (again 1m on AW) last month and kept on well to finish fifth; making her handicap debut and stepping up in trip, she looks certain to improve and is one to be interested in.

0-2 on AW; won soft-ground maiden in France for David Menuisier last August and placed in Doncaster handicap (1m4f) the following month; weakened on stable debut at Windsor (1m2f) in April and didn't fare that much better over 11.4f there (good to firm) last time; handicapper is relenting, though.

Has a modest strike-rate but won over C&D (soft) in April; largely consistent since, solid second off this mark at Sandown (1m, good; behind a subsequent winner) most recently; one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Has improved with each run on AW, from the front on last two starts and winning a maiden at the fourth attempt at Kempton (1m3f) this month; likely to be ridden prominently on her turf/handicap debut and should run well.

Just a single win, at long odds-on in a Polytrack maiden, to go with a good few short-priced reversals and hasn't always looked the easiest; will want to settle better round here, back up in trip, and the handicapper ultimately knows where he is with her.

Form & Verdict
Skipped clear of her four rivals at Haydock (1m, heavy) on third start last year; below that form on handicap debut in identical conditions the following month; withdrawn at Kempton (17-2) five weeks ago after bolting before the start; needs to prove she stays 1m2f (fourth when she tried it last May) and has nine-month absence to overcome, but she is lightly raced and may still progress.
