Form & Verdict

Good record on AW, winning at Kempton in February and a creditable third over 7f here last month; that latest effort suggests he'll need improvement for this first crack at 1m if he's to defy this mark.

Has reached the frame in all three of her runs, most recently when a keeping-on third on her step up to 7f at Wolverhampton last month; that was behind an odds-on rival after a break and this unexposed filly is respected on her handicap debut.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.
