Form & Verdict
Placed in three AW races over 7f-1m at two, the last of those in nursery company being her best effort; returned to maiden for recent reappearance at Redcar (7f, good) when below-form third; should come on for that, back up in trip and looks a contender.

Three wins last year included one on stable debut here (1m4f) in November; ran well when third of 14 over the same trip back here in June and and when filling the same position at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but this may not be far enough for her now.

Triple winner at up to 12.5f, including on Tapeta; 2lb higher than her last win, her latest effort suggests she'll need a further drop before winning again.

Closely related to 5f AW winner For Peat's Sake (RPR 70) and half-sister to 1m2f winner Peace Man (108); 11-1 for debut at Nottingham (8.5f), when heavy ground was a possible excuse in finishing last of six; tongue-tie fitted and no surprise if she's better for that and a sound surface.

Well beaten on heavy ground on her debut but showed much more in a tongue-tie and on faster ground when second of five at Pontefract 17 days ago; drops to 7f but with the scope to do better.

Allotted a mark that looks challenging based on his three efforts to date but there was improvement when second over C&D (good to soft) last time; sticks to novice company and will probably need further improvement to win this.

Some promise on turf last summer but he's struggled at big prices in four AW handicaps (1m-1m2f) this winter; mark is tumbling but he needs to turn things around at this new trip.

Not devoid of promise in a Pontefract maiden (1m, good to soft) last July; well below that level in three subsequent starts (in hood for last two; no headgear today); drops another 4lb; more needed.

Ulysses filly who shaped with promise when a 4l sixth of 14 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on her debut in December; looked inexperienced from a tough draw in that race and she's open to progress on this step up in trip; could be in the mix.
