Form & Verdict
0-5 but runner-up here (7f, good to firm) two starts ago and another good run when third at Southwell (7f, AW) last Tuesday; has shaped as though she could be suited by the drop back to 6f and she has leading claims if handling the ground (unraced on slow surface).

Three runs in 2yo campaign last season, first past the post on the second occasion (5.7f, firm; disqualified due to banned substance); fair fourth on belated reappearance at Windsor (6f, good) recently and has the ability to have a big say if handling the ground (unraced on slower than good).

Progressive on the AW over the winter, winning three 6f handicaps; further progress back on turf this summer, winning competitive Class 4 events in May and June before coming up just shy in her hat-trick bid last week (hit top gear too late); likely there is better to come from her but this is a step up in class.

No win in his first 23 starts but he made the breakthrough at Catterick (6f, soft) in October and followed up with a strong-finishing success over C&D; flopped back at this track in November but he had a wide trip and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate run; needs a close look back from a break.

Won at 11-2 on last month's debut at Southwell (7f, AW); the runner-up was impeded in that modest race, and he carries a 7lb penalty here, but it was a positive start to his career and he's open to improvement; respected.
