Form & Verdict
Made the frame on first two outings (5.2f/5f, good) and quickly rebounded from a lesser effort on Polytrack with creditable fifth in quite valuable Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; major player if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Has improved with experience and looked suited by the switch to more positive tactics when a keeping-on second at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last week, her third start; that form already makes her a contender and she could still have a bigger run in her.

Runner-up in two maidens (6f/5.6f) last summer but her form has gone in the wrong direction in handicaps; had an excuse when upped to 1m at Bath last Saturday but she's now 0-9 and needs a transformation back in trip.
