Out of a unraced half-sister to two German Listed winners; did not travel sweetly but still made very promising debut when keeping-on second of 13 at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) last month; likely contender here.

Acts of good to firm and good to soft; landed a handicap at Haydock (7f) last May in convincing style before a good fourth in the Sandringham (1m); hasn't seen much action since, but she ran well over 1m here in May and was third of 19 at York (7f) last time; nudged up 2lb but she should go well again on this drop back in grade.

Progressive handicap form at the start of last summer, winning convincingly at Haydock (7f, good) before excellent fourth of 25 in the Sandringham at this meeting (1m, good to firm); not seen again until a creditable fifth of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap (good) last month and entitled to come on for that run; first-time tongue-tie worn at Thirsk is retained; high on the shortlist under Spencer.

Well ridden by Robert Havlin (he got her handy from a wide draw) to record breakthrough success at Chelmsford this month (7f); is well berthed on this occasion and a 3lb rise could be shrugged off.

In the frame in seven of her nine starts, as when beaten a length into fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month (runner-up has won since); return to this trip should suit and, despite her wide draw, she holds each-way claims again.

Low-key debut at Haydock in July (6f, good) but there was much more to take from her recent Kempton third, on the back foot after a slow start but keeping on well in the closing stages behind an impressive winner; plenty more to come and she's one of the likelier ones.
