Form & Verdict
She has made giant strides since handicapping, winning 5f events at Chepstow and Chelmsford last month and only just coming up short in her hat-trick bid at Yarmouth two weeks ago (front two clear); another 4lb higher today but still a key player on her Tapeta debut.

Three 5f nursery wins for George Boughey last season (Class 6); ran well on her final start for that yard in July (6f, AW) but her stable debut at Epsom four weeks ago was disappointing; dropped 4lb but others look safer.

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement when making a successful nursery debut over C&D in July (only AW start); runner-up twice since, notably in a big field at Thirsk on her penultimate start (6f, soft); underwhelming effort when favourite at Catterick three weeks ago but she's not handicapped out of things and cheekpieces could revive her.
