Form & Verdict
From a yard that's 0-30 with 2yos this term; however, belied her 40-1 odds with a promising effort at Hamilton (6f, good) where she kept on for second, one place ahead of 9-4 favourite Komorkis; leading contender, provided she backs up the form.

6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern.

Form & Verdict
Progressive RPRs in four races at about 5f, winning comfortably at Chepstow (good to firm) and Bath (good to soft) the last twice; should be as effective over this extra furlong; one of the main form contenders, even with a big penalty.

Not beaten far at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July, but not so good at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; isn't progressing, but is a half-sister to two AW winners including one here, so she may find a bit more for the different surface.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.
