Form & Verdict
Missed the break but made late gains to finish third on debut at Leicester (7f, good; 33-1) a fortnight ago; should know more this time, so it will be interesting to see how she fares in the market with stablemate Fossdale; stamina isn't guaranteed (on pedigree) over a mile.

Justified favouritism when winning a Haydock novice (1m, soft) in May; runner-up in next two starts and she wasn't beaten far after missing the break in a Haydock handicap (fifth of ten) last time; returns after four months off but she still has potential and could find more at this new trip; blinkers worn last time are removed.

Showed promise on good ground on debut in May before winning over C&D (soft); 2l second of four on handicap debut over C&D three weeks ago (soft; behind Miaswell who was declared in the 3.35) and perhaps the first-time headgear will eke out something extra; yard remains in good form.

Form & Verdict
Won on debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October; bitterly disappointing odds-on favourite over C&D (soft) on seasonal reappearance four weeks ago, fading tamely, but retains significant potential.

Won sole 2yo start and added a fillies' handicap success at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) when making all; subsequent runs for Ralph Beckett were below her best and she has a tough draw to defy here.

Eighth foal from a 1m2f AW winner (RPR 73); half-sister to four winners, including Cubswin (11.6f Flat/useful 2m-2m3f hurdle) and Inspirited (7f); trainer Brian Meehan is operating an 8% 3yo strike-rate so far this year; others look stronger.

Has shown some promise in three novice events at up to 1m3f; appeared to act on soft on debut; initial mark looks fair based on that; check market for clues on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Signs of inexperience, before keeping on well to score on Kempton debut (1m, maiden fillies') last December; that form has been given credence by the runner-up and third; dam's half-sister (Homeryan) was an effective soft-ground operator; lacks a recent run which is a risk-factor.
