Form & Verdict
Came good with clearcut success at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in August, her sixth start, and went very close when back on turf at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) soon afterwards; probably didn't have race run to suit when held up at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) last month but still kept on for fourth there and remains unexposed over this trip.

Developed into fairly useful Flat-racer for William Haggas last year and has shown aptitude for hurdling for new stable this year, most recently when placed against own age-group over C&D (soft) in March; open to improvement on today's handicap hurdle debut; interesting.

Has very mixed record this season but made virtually all to win at Leicester (1m4f, good) last month; ought to handle today's forecast slower ground and could plausibly have untapped potential over the new trip.

Bounced back with a creditable second in Ripon handicap (1m4f, good) last month but she added another major blip to her profile when tailed off at Thirsk last time; that took her record to 0-7 and others are more convincing.

0-8 since winning three-runner race on her 2yo debut but looked very well suited by step to an extended 1m6f when close second at Chester (good to soft) 11 days ago, and that performance makes her of significant interest here.

0-11 for Sir Mark Prescott, but made an immediate impact her debut for this yard when winning with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; has run well to finish fourth in both outings since including when beaten just over a length here (1m3f) nine days ago, but may find this trip too sharp for her now.

Left Sir Mark Prescott for 60,000gns and as an 11-race maiden; straight on the scoresheet for this yard with a comfortable win at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and the race didn't go her way back there last time; stays further than this so don't doubt her stamina.

11-race maiden (four seconds) in her 11 starts for Sir Mark Prescott; 60,000gns sale and dropped in trip when obliging comfortably in five-runner race over C&D last Monday on first attempt for new connections, so she's firmly in the mix under 6lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Two wins this season, the latter over an extended 2m at York (good to firm) in July; not quite in the same form since, though, and some of the 3yos in this line-up may prove better handicapped; unraced on turf slower than good.

In career-best form when at 1m6f-2m this season for three seconds and a fourth; the last two of those races were Group 2s at Goodwood (1m6f second against her own sex; ahead of Grateful) and York (2m fourth against the males) and she should be bang there once again.
