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.

AW campaigner who is having his first realistic go on turf; went close at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Kempton (1m4f) in his first two handicaps but didn't progress across this winter's campaign; last two starts saw big defeats in the spring but maybe wind surgery will help and a tongue-tie is now added to his cheekpieces.
