J: Finley Marsh

T: Jack Channon

The winner of four of her six starts, notably a dominant effort in a Class 3 handicap at Goodwood four weeks ago; ran poorly behind Rumstar in a Group 3 at Sandown on her penultimate start but that run shouldn't be used as the evidence she can't make her mark at this level.

J: David Probert

Successful debut over 6f but improved form at 5f since, winning her first two starts at the trip (AW/good) before going out like a light in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; had earlier been taken out of a race on the latter ground and presumably wouldn't want it to dry out much; remains of interest, though.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival in his Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) in June but he ran well for a long way with hood added at Nottingham (fourth of nine) two weeks ago; that was behind a smart prospect who made all and this well-bred colt is open to more progress; respected.
