Off the track since a modest run at Nottingham last August but her first two runs for this yard weren't without hope and she still has low mileage; bred to do better and a good run wouldn't be a major shock.

0-10 but she sets a fair standard on her best form including a close third in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f, AW) in March; had excuses in her final two runs in the spring and she's a key player if she can get back near her best after a break.

Karatayka

Nine-race maiden but she has shown promise for this yard, notably a second over the extended 1m here last summer and a third at Wolverhampton in March; reportedly finished lame when below her best at Newcastle four weeks ago; unproven on the ground but can win races.

4/1

4 yo Filly

OR: 58

Form & Verdict
On a good mark and her penultimate effort, when keeping on for a close fifth in a race not run to suit, suggested she was ready to capitalise; uneasy in the betting and dropped away having taken a strong hold at Newcastle 12 days ago; cheekpieces return today and she's a key player.

Made all to claim her tenth career victory in a 1m handicap at Nottingham (good to firm) in June and then ran just as well in defeat; 6f was on the sharp side when below par last time but again looks vulnerable tackling a bunch of 3yos.

Form & Verdict
Ran well on her second start (1m, visored first time) at Naas last May; two runs either side of that less convincing; sold out of Willie McCreery's yard for 18,000gns last summer; bred to do better but goes without headgear on her stable debut; betting to guide.
