Has proved consistent since winning a Beverley claimer (5f, good to firm) for another yard in May, including winning a Catterick nursery (5f, good) last month and running a subsequent winner close at Musselburgh (5f, good) 13 days later; up another 3lb, but still respected.

Belated first win and a head second in the past 12 days were gained over sharp 5f on softer than good; the refusal to settle cost her last time but she could atone here, while 4lb well in and down slightly in grade; sole run on Tapeta (C&D novice; dwelt) was inconclusive.

Form & Verdict
Has shown ability in three sprint contests, most recently third at Haydock two months ago; beaten favourite on two occasions but may well start to improve now handicapping; bred to rate higher than this opening mark, being half-sister to a Listed scorer for this yard; highly respected.

She hasn't lived up to market billing in her four starts to date, including when favourite for a 5f nursery at Catterick three weeks ago; looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion and the addition of cheekpieces could give her a lift.

0-7 at 6f-1m; proved suited by the drop to 5f in Beverley maiden (good) ten days ago and may build on that success, being unexposed over the minimum distance; one to consider.

0-6 (6f-1m), all in maidens/novices, and he doesn't appear to be progressing; however, he makes his nursery debut off what looks a fair mark and he might not be far away.

Clear signs of ability at maiden/novice level, beaten only 2l in each of her last two races (5f, turf/AW); open to progress in handicaps and looks an interesting contender.

Made late headway after a tardy start at Catterick (5f, soft) on most recent completed outing (unseated rider early last time); gives the impression she'll improve for this extra yardage; wasn't beaten far on her only AW run (here); could still be unexposed.

Took a significant step forward when springing a 33-1 surprise over C&D (novice; good to soft) a fortnight ago; carries a penalty for that success but her trainer has enjoyed a successful season with his juveniles; there may be more to come from her.
