Form & Verdict
Positives to take from all three runs and especially the latest (9.4f, AW) when miles clear of the rest in chasing home a promising horse (and previous Newmarket winner) from the Haggas yard; can go one better here if she's as good on the grass.

Progressive handicapper on turf last year; well beaten in a Listed event on reappearance but she was soon back on track when second at Newmarket three weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to AW but a career best will be needed to take this.

Settled better in the first-time hood (retained) at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last month and made a winning handicap debut; this 3yo is open to further improvement for her top trainer and the extra yardage could be a positive.

Ended last season with comfortable AW maiden win in November and has made the frame in all three handicaps this year, most recently when third of seven at Sandown (1m1f, good to soft) two months ago; needs to improve to win this competitive race, though.

Placed in two handicaps (1m/1m2f) since winning her maiden at Wolverhampton and, with no excuses from the front last time, she is looking handicapped about right; return to turf also poses some nagging doubts, but on the plus side she would appear in better form than most of these.
