Form & Verdict
Progressive RPRs in four races at about 5f, winning comfortably at Chepstow (good to firm) and Bath (good to soft) the last twice; should be as effective over this extra furlong; one of the main form contenders, even with a big penalty.

Yet to finish out of the first two in six starts; won twice in June, a maiden at Chepstow and a novice at Bath, both over 5f; good run when second over 6f at Pontefract; excellent winning effort over 6f at Ripon four weeks ago, giving 16lb to the runner-up.

Zoustar filly who showed ability with her running-on fourth, beaten 6l, at Redcar (6f, soft); however, recorded a modest RPR and gave the impression she may not flourish until sent over further.

Not beaten far at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July, but not so good at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; isn't progressing, but is a half-sister to two AW winners including one here, so she may find a bit more for the different surface.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.
