Out of the frame on all three starts (5f/6f) in May, but there have been signs of ability and she's had a short break; bred to be suited by today's stiffer test of stamina; might be the answer.

Placed in maidens at Ayr (5f, good) and Haydock (6f, soft); has thrown in some lesser efforts either side of those, not least when finishing one place ahead of the reopposing Elladora Black in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good to soft) latest; would be a player if she can bounce back.

Turf record is 0-5; blinkered since switched to nursery level, running creditably at Carlisle (7f) then poorly at Lingfield (6f); may rebound if aided by new headgear and change of surface.

Form & Verdict
Needed all of the trip to win maiden at Brighton (6f, good) in May and ran well again when second of 14 in York seller (6f, good to soft) the following month; well worth a try over this longer distance; in the mix again.

Form & Verdict
Finished last on her first two turf outings but improved significantly to spring a 33-1 surprise in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 11 days ago; may be open to further progress and Archie Young's 7lb claim is a bonus; high on the list.

Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off when favourite for soft-going debut in the spring; again lost ground at the start when well held twice since; hard to fancy on form, but she's not badly bred and things could click if she gets away on terms.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't shown much promise so far and he was soundly beaten on his third run in novice at Chester (6f; 66-1); however, the dam's side of his pedigree suggests this longer distance may suit and he now wears cheekpieces.
