Front-runner; took a while to find her feet but she's flying now, gaining AW wins at Kempton (7f) in August and Southwell (1m) in September; this is more competitive but she has shown promise on turf and should go well in her hat-trick bid.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a 7f fillies' novice at Kempton in good style three weeks ago; hit with a 7lb rise for that but she could well have more in the tank now handicapping; should be equally effective at 1m.

Hasn't kicked on since winning on her debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in July; however, she's in top hands and shaped when fourth on this month's handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) as though she may benefit from this first crack at sprinting; a possible.

Looked a useful prospect when winning by 6l on her debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in July; hasn't built on that in two AW runs since, but she hasn't been disgraced either and now returns to turf for her handicap debut; may still have untapped potential.
