J: Kyle McHugh

T: Michael Keady

Unexposed 3yo who ended three-race 2yo campaign for John Ryan with small-field Nottingham novice win (5f, soft) in November; encounters much faster ground and has fitness to prove on stable/handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Close up in novices at Lingfield (5f) and Chester (6f; good to soft) before finishing down the field on nursery debut at York, where she was encountering soft ground for the first time; faces the same ground here but in a much easier race.

Left Ollie Sangster for 7,000gns and as a 12-race maiden; however, she was runner-up four times and this trip on slow ground is suitable; could go well.

0-11 but she's had plenty of close calls including at Doncaster (5f, good) on her penultimate run; looks interesting if she can recapture that form and she seems fairly versatile ground-wise.

0-17, but she has been placed in three of her five starts over C&D so can be given an each-way shout; new headgear combination.

Dreambird Dolly

J: Isobelle Chalmers

T: John Gallagher

15-race maiden; twice placed at Brighton (5.3f) in August but she's finished down the field there in last two starts; has something to prove again and her peak form has come on fast ground.

Form & Verdict
80,000gns breeze-up buy with a good pedigree; second run has been a while coming but there were some positives to take from her 5l defeat at Thirsk in May (good to firm); no doubt capable of better.

Some promise on her Thirsk debut in May (5f, good to firm), but ran poorly when last of four on last month's Nottingham return (5f, soft); much more needed, but likely she is capable of better and her sire has a fine record on the Tapeta here (26%).
