Form & Verdict
Big price when winning a seller on debut; didn't build on that at Chester a week later (another seller) but she was again slowly away, from the outside stall, and this is no stronger; likely player.

Dual winner in the summer, more recently on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft); more exposed than some of these but recent efforts have been very respectable; probably won't be far away.

Bit better with each start and the extra furlong should suit now handicapping (half-sister to a dual 1m Tapeta winner) for a yard enjoying a good season with 2yos; goes on the shortlist.

Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering.
