Form & Verdict
Front-runner; disappointing at Goodwood in July last time out but she reportedly bled from the nose; in fine form previously, winning a handicap here (1m, good) in May and a Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in July; leading claims under 3lb penalty if back to her best; versatile ground-wise.

Has something to find on the figures and she was disappointing at York last time; however, she was reportedly unsuited by the ground (good, good to firm in places) and she'd previously caught the eye when an unlucky second in a handicap at Haydock (1m, good); went close on soft in June; trainer has won two of the last five runnings and this 3yo could be a big improver.
