Form & Verdict
Just one win from 12 starts but that came at Wolverhampton in July and she's been knocking on the door with her strong-finishing efforts on Tapeta (1m4f) in last two runs; didn't get much luck in either of those races and she's a big player on this step up in trip.

Record of 0-6 but he's reached the frame in AW handicaps in his last two starts and he rallied well for third at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time; was beaten 4l in that race but he still has potential and could be dangerous on his step up to this trip.
