Form & Verdict
Disappointing favourite at Catterick 37 days ago (reportedly never travelling); however, she was in good form previously and won a handicap at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) two starts ago; major player if bouncing back to form.

Close third in 1m2f handicap at Ayr in August on her second start for this yard, and that form gives her a major shout here; however, she's struggled on her three starts since and needs to turn things around.

Ran well when third in a handicap at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) last month and has stand-out claims on that form; however, he's been well below that level the next twice, most recently at Musselburgh (1m4f, good to soft) where he was turned over at 11-10, so there are reservations.
