Gained two front-running 5f wins for Archie Watson last year but hasn't beaten a rival in two outings for current yard; cheekpieces failed to stop the slide last time; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Showed some promise, despite 125-1 odds, in big-field maiden at the Curragh (6f, good; finished eighth) two weeks ago; shaped as if this drop in distance will suit; open to improvement and not dismissed.

Her second at Hamilton came in a three-runner race; well beaten in two nurseries and looking exposed; cheekpieces tried.

Runner-up in three-runner novice at Hamilton second time out but has looked a bit flattered by that subsequently and no improvement on handicap debut last time.

Form & Verdict
Has the worst chance on form, having achieved little in C&D maiden 16 days ago when last of the five runners; needs to have come on plenty for that debut experience.

Yet to beat a single rival in six starts and was never going well on first run for Lucinda Russell here (8.5f, 80-1, beaten 22l) just under a fortnight ago; newly applied cheekpieces will need to have a transformational impact; better to look elsewhere.

J: Brandon Wilkie

T: K R Burke

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month on second start and has won nurseries there (5f, good) and at Leicester (5f, soft) on her next two outings; goes up in grade here but she did it cosily under Brandon Wilkie last time and could have more left in the tank for her top northern trainer.

T: K R Burke

Justified support in a Musselburgh maiden (5f, good) on her second start and she made it 2-3 with her narrow win in a Musselburgh nursery last Tuesday; has a penalty but she looks a willing type and is open to more improvement; respected.
