Form & Verdict
Placed three consecutive times in Ireland last March/April (2m-2m6f); pulled up in early stages of stable debut in October (breathing issue reported) but, with tongue-tie fitted, was set to be placed at least before unseating rider at the penultimate flight at Kelso (2m2f, heavy) in December; 2lb lower here; one to consider.

Came good for Sandy Thomson at third attempt, with comfortable win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in February, and put a lesser run behind her when close at fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) last month; this move back up in trip will suit; may yet have a bigger run in her.

Thriving mare who bids to compete a hat-trick after clear wins at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) this year; shooting up the weights but needs to be taken very seriously in current form.

Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Form & Verdict
Creditable second to useful rival in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) last March; not in same form (without cheekpieces) on either start this season and the headgear is missing again today but she's on a good mark and will be feared if strong in the betting.
