Scored on last month's nursery debut at Catterick (5f, good) and posted another good effort when third over C&D (good; led) on latest outing; recent 1lb drop helps; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Made encouraging late headway when sixth of 13 at Beverley (5f, good) last month, on second run, but struggled (albeit in good-quality York novice) on next outing and also disappointed when upped to 6f for nursery debut (unruly beforehand); now drops back in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Ran well from the front when second from outside draw on nursery debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago, despite being pushed even wider by some early interference; runs off same mark here and the form was boosted when the winner followed up on Friday; leading contender.

Some of last summer's form would give her strong claims at this level and there was a bit more encouragement from her at Southwell on Wednesday, albeit in a weak race; not out of this if she can build on that.

Well beaten (albeit on good to soft ground) when upped to 7f for last month's nursery debut at Chester; this race is easier but she still needs the drop in trip to enable significant improvement.

Form & Verdict
Bettered debut effort when third in Hamilton maiden (5f, good to firm) in June but took backward step when again raced too freely in C&D novice last month; will need to settle better if she is to overcome top weight on today's nursery debut.
