Form & Verdict

She has improved her RPR with each of her four starts, getting off the mark in a 1m4f novice at Lingfield (AW) last month; further progress is on the cards now she moves into handicaps.

Form & Verdict

Two 1m4f wins in the second half of 2022 (good to firm and good to soft); her form-figures this season don't make for inspiring reading but she's been banging her head against the wall in Listed races on last three starts; major player back in calmer waters.

Form & Verdict

Came from off the pace to spring a surprise in a Ripon novice on her reappearance in April (1m2f, soft); not in quite the same form in a Doncaster novice when upped to this trip four weeks ago; it's too soon to write her off and she has a feasible mark for her handicap debut.

Form & Verdict

Raced at 7f and 1m so far, winning a 7f maiden at Newmarket last season and running her best race when a good fourth at Ascot on her return in May (1m, soft); disappointing twice since; some encouragement for middle distances in pedigree; risky.
