Form & Verdict
Cost £32,000 as a yearling and is from the first crop of Far Above; never dangerous when fourth of seven at Southwell (5-1) last Sunday but she made some late gains and was only beaten 3l; should be more streetwise this time and it wouldn't be a surprise if she took a major step forward.

Raced around 5f; creditable in-frame efforts on all four outings this year, notably when neck second of 17 at Thirsk (good) last Saturday; nudged up another 3lb but it shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if proving as effective at the new trip.
