Form & Verdict
Feasibly treated for handicaps on the form of her near-5l sixth of 18 at Doncaster last month (6f, good to firm); unlikely that her 13l debut defeat (dwelt; needed the experience) is all she has to offer at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Dual 7f Polytrack scorer either side of Christmas; fewer realistic opportunities so far on turf, and last month's heavy-ground Leicester fourth (7f) may be worth marking up given the refusal to settle following a 104-day absence; enters the mix if more tractable this time; down 1lb.
