Form & Verdict
340,000gns yearling; sent of a warm favourite when beaten half a length into second of 14 on her Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack) last November; slight concern that she hasn't been seen since, but the form of that race has worked out well and she must have a solid chance if ready to go on her return; stable also runs Venus Rosewater.

Contested handicaps on last three outings, easily best form when scoring comfortably at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm; favourite) on second occasion; two runs this term, including latest, prompt concerns if the ground is softer than good; this is also a new trip and she has headgear first time.

Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip.
