OR:

Form & Verdict
Both starts over 6f; promising debut at Yarmouth and took a step forward when second of 12 at Kempton a fortnight ago, kicking clear but picked off late; she's raced too freely on both occasions and perhaps dropping to 5f will help; drawn widest but she sets the standard and can do better yet.

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call.

Showed some promise when third of eight on her Catterick debut three weeks ago (5f, soft; 33-1); finished behind Lunar Force on that occasion though and given that rival raced alone towards the far rail, the placings may well be upheld here.
