Won a Lingfield novice (5f, AW) last August and only just beaten in a handicap there (6f; first-time visor) in February, but recent efforts (including in blinkers) haven't been at the same level; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form & Verdict
No joy in her first nine starts but she found plenty of progress with her comfortable wins over 5f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; has another big rise in mark (11lb) to deal with but she surged clear from an unexposed improver last time and looks worth another try at this trip; major player again.

Promise for Richard Hannon before making a winning stable debut in a Kempton nursery (6f; first-time blinkers) in September; backed that up with a bold bid over C&D (close fourth) the following month and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; on same mark on her return and she's respected with Hollie Doyle booked.

Huge chance on this year's best form, notably a C&D second off 7lb higher in February; refused to race at Yarmouth on her penultimate start though and that, allied to a modest effort at Chelmsford two weeks ago, leaves her with too much to prove for comfort.

Form & Verdict
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month but she couldn't make an impact when upped to a Class 5 event at Southwell last time; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to resume her progress; stablemate of She Is A Keeper.

Clearly best effort when making all over C&D in November; there were excuses on her nursery debut here on Boxing Day (dropped back to 5f; drawn wide) and she may still have untapped potential back at 6f; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish filly who has finished down the field in three runs (5f-7f; AW) for her current yard; mark continues to fall and this drop back in trip could suit but she's now 0-10 and others are more convincing; blinkered for the first time.
