Form & Verdict
Promise for George Boughey last winter; went the wrong way for Jack Jones but she's tumbled down the weights as a result; sold for 1,000gns last month; interesting to see if Mick Appleby can revive her fortunes but she does have the widest stall to contend with.

Made an immediate impact on her first start for Mick Appleby when off the mark at the 14th attempt in a 0-55 handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 13 days ago; caught wide and far from disgraced when fourth in 7f Chelmsford classified event last week; big player back in a handicap.

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap here in December, producing a strong finish to win cosily; ran poorly at Southwell last time but he's still on a handy mark and is fully effective over C&D; shortlisted.
