Form & Verdict
Placed in all four starts for George Baker last year and made a successful debut for this yard at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month after 210 days off; had only a neck to spare and the form isn't really working out, but she remains open to improvement so is not dismissed up 4lb.

Five wins and a second from her six races since joining Marcus Tregoning, all 1m2f-1m4f handicaps on good or good to firm (withdrawn from recent engagements when it was soft or heavy); the last three wins were in very small fields but there's no doubt she's improving.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't really built on her successful Newcastle debut; raced freely when sixth of 12 on turf debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month, but she was beaten around only 2l and the winner has gone in again since; this track may suit her better and she could run a big race.

Form & Verdict
Best effort as a 2yo when third of seven at Sandown (1m, good) in September and probably didn't handle the heavy ground on her final outing; makes her handicap debut after 251 days off, but the longer trip should suit on pedigree and she is well worth monitoring in the market.

Eight-race maiden who's performing consistently but the exception came as 2yo on her only start on heavy going; her sixth when favourite trying 1m6f and cheekpieces (both for the first time) on latest outing was not her best form and today she sports blinkers.
