Form & Verdict
Took pleasing step forward from debut effort when scoring over the bare 7f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; travelled strongly before asserting inside the final furlong that day and probably wasn't fully extended; can make further progress.

Six seconds and two thirds from her eight races; best of those was in a handicap at the York Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but she was turned over at long odds-on in a maiden on latest, which has to prompt some caution despite that being her AW debut.

Placed in all seven starts, the latest when dead-heating for second of 13 in a 0-105 handicap at York (1m2f, good to firm) last month; makes his AW debut, but his sire has made a bright start with his runners around here (two winners and three seconds from seven runners); major player.

Arrives late on the scene and she cut it fine over this C&D in August against Thunderous Love but that took her record in 6f turf handicaps to three from her last five attempts (all on good to firm; has gone close on good); has run well on Newcastle AW since and the likely strong pace will suit.

Third turf win of a productive summer when edging ahead late on over 6f at Nottingham last month; the fact two fourths is the best she's managed in six previous attempts on AW is a slight concern but has to merit respect in current mood.

Winner of one of her three C&D starts, when making all last month (good; acts on soft), but her race was run from a long way out when going unpenalised next time; not weighted out of it despite going back up 5lb and has had a longer break between races this time; can be involved.
