Form & Verdict
Sent off 12-1 and showed promise when beaten less than 2l into third of 12 on her Lingfield debut (6f, Polytrack) nine days ago, finishing strongly from well off the pace; extra furlong shouldn't be an issue and one of the likelier winners.

Two minor wins on the AW over 7f; the form of her Yarmouth third has worked out well (7f, good) and her Kempton effort was too bad to be taken seriously; commands respect on that penultimate effort.

Won twice in maiden/novice company last summer, including over C&D; improved effort when third of ten behind Shin Jidai on her Yarmouth reappearance (7f, good) four weeks ago, form that has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second, fourth and sixth; 2lb turnaround in the weights perhaps not enough to reverse the placings.

Often leads, as when a wide-margin AW winner on yard debut last September; has run many good races in defeat since, including when losing out late on to a stablemate over C&D (good to soft; pair clear) last week; due to go back up 2lb; drying ground no help but form claims otherwise.
