Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari).

Form & Verdict
Showed some promise in novice/maiden events but she was beaten 11l on her nursery/stable debut at Pontefract (good to soft) in July; the step up to 6f may have backfired but she's now 0-7 and others are preferred; tongue-tie back on.

J: Benoit De La Sayette

Unable to justify favouritism on Brighton nursery debut over an extended 5f at the beginning of this month but by no means disgraced in third and her market strength suggests she's thought capable of better; tended to lug to her left under pressure on that occasion and this more conventional track may suit better; enters the reckoning.

Maiden who's had his moments at the start and often pulled hard; reared as the stalls opened on his turf comeback and unseated, so can only be considered risky in first-time blinkers.
