Came good with clearcut success on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; behind three of today's rivals when seventh of 11 over C&D (soft) on turf debut the following month but remains unexposed and might be seen to better effect if the ground is less testing today.

All four starts on AW, finishing runner-up three times in maiden/novice company before getting off the mark on 1m Southwell handicap debut 39 days ago; could easily have more to offer but hard to know whether she'll cope with the forecast slow ground now switching to the turf.

Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song.

Progressive in 1m2f handicaps last summer and she ran respectably when mid-division on her belated reappearance in a Listed race at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; this lightly raced 4yo is in top hands and could build on that latest run now back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces.

AW novice winner on 2yo debut (1m); won a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last summer but subsequent defeats in a handicap and Listed race suggest she faces an uphill task on her return from 406 days off, all the more so if the ground is slow.
