Form & Verdict
Steady improver who followed up a Hamilton win (5f, good) on her nursery debut with a marginally better effort on form at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) latest; her experience could prove invaluable and she's a contender.

Form & Verdict
Took a big step up on her debut effort when scoring at Windsor (5f, good to firm; raced prominently) in June; returned there to be beaten 5l after (6f, good to firm) on her nursery debut latest; that run suggests this return to 5f may be beneficial and she looks an each-way possible.

Showed promise on debut (5f, AW) but has been unable to build on that in two further starts; gelded since finishing fourth when favourite in a Leicester seller (6f, good) last month; tongue-tie fitted; may now be capable of better but has that to prove.

Outpaced but persevered when fourth of 11 over C&D on debut and she didn't seem to fail through lack of stamina when upped to 6f at Newbury last month; hard to be sure 5f is her trip but open to improvement and shouldn't be far away.
