Form & Verdict
Has won three of her six starts and she made it 2-3 on AW when scoring with something in hand at Newcastle (1m2f) in October; 6lb higher after another short break but she's open to more progress and is a big player for in-form yard.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Completed a hat-trick on the AW when quickening away to win the Winter Oaks at Lingfield in January; perhaps something was amiss at Newcastle and could yet develop into something better than a handicapper; has won on turf and her stable won the Listed race at Haydock last weekend with a filly returning from a lengthy break.

Quickened nicely to land the Winter Oaks at Lingfield (off 8lb lower) ten weeks ago, completing a handicap hat-trick and taking overall record on AW to 4-5; progressive filly who could develop into something better than a handicapper before long; has to be feared.

First and second in AW novices earlier this year; didn't look well treated in her first two handicaps, but she resumed her progress when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; nudged up 2lb but she has a good draw here and could make another bold bid.
