Form & Verdict
Never nearer from the back when placed this season at Nottingham (1m, soft) and Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in her two handicaps; looked bit better than bare result in the latter (checked over 2f out) and should go well.

Improved form when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good) in July on third handicap start; only fourth at Sandown (1m1f, good) next time and needs to better that run today, but she remains lightly raced and may yet progress further.

Lightly raced filly who was nicely on top at the finish in a 1m2f fillies' handicap at Windsor a month ago (good; handles soft); the potential is there to deal with a 6lb higher mark for last year's winning stable.

Won Windsor maiden and went close on handicap debut there, both over 1m2f in July; unseated rider leaving the stalls at Goodwood in August, which was her only appearance on ground softer than good; had a fair first stab at 1m4f here on latest start but now needs to resume improvement.

Won Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm) in July on third start and went very close in handicap there (1m2f, good) next time; unseated rider leaving the stalls at Goodwood in August last time; needs to avoid similar mishap but pedigree suggests that 1m4f will suit and she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Made the running last four starts; gamely won five-runner handicap at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm; probably acts on soft) last month and creditable second of four in a classified at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 16 days ago; should not be far away.

Won novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November on second start; raced freely when put in her place in a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (good) in May on reappearance, so needs improvement on this handicap debut but these are early days and it may be possible.

Although not improving on her soft-ground debut form, she has taken minor honours on good to firm at Newbury (7f) and Sandown (1m) in her two handicaps; needs to find extra but 1m2f looks plausible.

Has shown promise with her three frame efforts over 7f/1m this season and she didn't get home after over-racing in a 1m2f handicap at Windsor last month; now drops back in trip with cheekpieces added but she needs to find more to make a big impact here; stablemate of Venus Rosewater.

Probably acts on good to soft; 7f winner at Newmarket for Richard Hannon as a 2yo; has drawn a blank since but took minor honours in two of her first three starts back on Flat for new yard and could have been seriously involved over C&D on latest outing had she seen any daylight; each-way player.

Form & Verdict
Back to turf with a bang in eight-runner handicap at Ascot (1m2f, soft; 7lb higher today) in May, coming from off the pace to score comfortably; enough excuses (1m4f, run of race, interference) for her Royal Ascot bid at 50-1 to be forgiven and she travelled well to 2f out; one to consider.
