Form & Verdict
Won in the spring on first two handicap starts (1m4f/1m3f, AW) and soft ground may not have suited at Doncaster in April on her turf debut (tailed off); fair fourth of five at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago following two-month break but needs a much bigger performance today.

3yo who made all in good style at Newbury (13.2f, good) last month and was a good second at Ascot (2m, good) seven days later; flopped at Glorious Goodwood but the track/busy spell were possible excuses and she could bounce back with a bold show following a 17-day break.

Went close in Bath novice (1m2f, good; unraced on softer) in May on third start then got up late on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last month; in top hands and this well-bred 3yo may be the type to benefit from the first-time cheekpieces; firmly in calculations.

Lightly raced 4yo who has won here and has run well to finish third on her three starts this season, most recently at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in June; improvement is possible if and when she settles better but she has just over 3l to find with Karmology on the Pontefract form.
