Progressive filly who was given a basement mark for her handicap debut and has improved in leaps and bounds since, winning three times from 1m to 1m2f; latest win was here (9.4f) a week ago by 3l; up 8lb and has stamina to prove for this longer distance but she's thriving and not dismissed lightly.

Peak effort came when a close second in trying to make all at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month, when on this mark; hasn't helped his cause by racing freely on his last two starts (both around 1m) so this return to 7f may help; not ruled out.

Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.
