Runner-up in two of four starts, including nursery debut at Leicester last month (6f, good to firm) when she bumped into a good thing; non-runner on account of soft ground once though so Tuesday's rain won't have been welcomed.

Only modest effort in four starts came on the AW and she looked as though the return to this trip would suit when third of ten in an Ascot nursery (6f, good) eight days ago; should run her race, but she looks vulnerable to an improver and her rider is unable to claim.

J: Ben Curtis

She improved for the step up to 6f (good) when third of eight at York 16 days ago, keeping on well (solid Topspeed figure to boot); that effort sets the standard but she does need to match it back down in trip.

Form & Verdict
Built upon debut effort when making all in run-of-the-mill Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm) in June but just a respectable fourth in Lingfield novice last month; recently gelded; probably needs to take a step forward on today's nursery debut.

Turf (good to firm) and AW winner over 6f; best turf RPR came on good to soft but other form on slow ground makes that look an anomaly; plenty to prove based on last three starts.

Form & Verdict
Not living up to his yearling price-tag but has made the frame on all four starts, most recently when creditable second of ten on nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) last month; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but ought to make his presence felt again.

Lost out only by a neck on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in June but was very disappointing odds-on favourite next time (albeit on soft ground) and last month's fourth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) was underwhelming; has a point to prove on nursery debut.

Remains winless after ten starts but she's posted some fair efforts on her last few starts and continues to edge down the weights; has been found a weak race this evening and it could be a good opportunity.
