Form & Verdict
Bit better with each start on the AW last winter, latterly when well backed on the step up from 1m; would have been a deal better off with Montevideo in a handicap back from eight months off but has place claims.

Ran above market expectations on her C&D debut in June and split two subsequent winners last time, albeit she was allowed her own way in front at a steady pace; no obvious reason she won't give her running again.

Easy to back ahead of two runs to date, not improving much on her debut effort on to soft ground last time; may not have stayed 1m3f that night and her trainer is 24-70 with 3yos here but she'll need to improve for the fitting of headgear.

Daughter of a bumper winner; scored on her debut in that sphere at Stratford two months ago; has been found an ordinary-looking novice as she switches codes in a first-time hood; interesting to see how she goes in the market.
