Form & Verdict
Both nursery starts at Brighton, running well over 5.3f then failing to get home over 6f; may prove suited by this change of surface, being closely related to an AW winner, and the drop back in trip looks a plus; interesting.

Proved suited by the switch to AW at Wolverhampton (5f) last week, making all for a comfortable win (off 9lb lower) and opening her account at the seventh attempt; may well have more to offer in this sphere; respected.
