Couldn't cope with a subsequent winner at Beverley (5f, good to firm) but that represented improvement and she can benefit from going over this extra furlong on her handicap debut; seriously considered.

Form & Verdict
Remains a maiden after seven attempts and Newcastle last time was not his best form; however, he has finished second over 5f, 6f, and 7f this season and some of his form reads well in the context of today's company; hood tried the last twice is left at home.

Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour.
