Form & Verdict
Placed in six of her first eight completed starts (including on Polytrack) so wasn't winning out of turn when coming home 4l clear after having made all in a Yarmouth maiden (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; longer trip shouldn't be a problem on pedigree and she looks a major player.

Lightly raced 4yo who looked progressive when making a successful handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, soft) in May, but finished a long last of four stepped up to this trip at Newmarket (good) the following month; been given a short break since and no surprise were she to bounce back on AW debut.

Made it two wins from 12 starts when beating three rivals at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) this month (runner-up has won since); 4lb higher and just a fair effort on only previous AW outing (on Polytrack), but stable won this with a 3yo (on Fibresand) last year.

Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out.

0-7, but would have gone closer had she not been badly hampered when fourth of eight at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) four weeks ago; could go well with a bit more luck, though this is a better race.

Seven-race maiden who recorded her best effort when second of 13 at Ffos Las (1m2f, heavy) early in month (albeit over 6l behind the winner), but didn't back it up over the same C&D (good) eight days later; out of a three-time Polytrack winner, but she will need to improve for the switch to the AW.

Just the two starts (both on Tapeta) six months apart, winning at 50-1 on her Newcastle debut (1m) in February but finishing a tailed-off last of ten at Wolverhampton (8.6f) this month; hard to know what to expect on handicap debut.
