Easy enough to strike a line through latest Ascot run and she's only 1lb higher than for her Newmarket win in May (1m, good to firm); had few chances at this trip and could yet do better.

Successful in 1m fillies' handicaps at this course in May and Goodwood in August; last two efforts suggests she remains in form but a career-best performance is needed off current mark.

No match for Asteverdi at Sandown in June but C&D winner (good to soft) in August and a solid third behind one who has since outgrown handicaps over 1m at Ascot in September; fairly exposed now but this lesser test might suit better; not far away.

Disappointed at Sandown (7f, soft) last month but the ground may not have suited and she was runner-up at Lingfield (7f, good) and Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in August; that form puts her in the picture and has possibilities if she can bounce back with hood added.

Racked up 13 wins in a superb career; unable to repeat last year's Ascot win in the same race this month but she'd been in good form for Oliver Searle previously and some of her best turf efforts have come over C&D, including a win; weighted to be involved.

Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive.

Promise at Newmarket last September (for the Meades); made her stable debut in a hot Newbury maiden in April, shaping well in fifth of the 17 runners; absent for 115 days before an easy front-running win in a Nottingham maiden ten days ago; had a soft lead there, though, and more required now handicapping under a 6lb penalty.

Inclined to overdo it when going this far previously but the return to 1m didn't suit (minus tongue-tie, as today) last time; that was a step back in the right direction though and she's on a competitive mark if settling.

Fine pedigree; appeals as the type to do much better now handicapping but a tactical race at a sharp 1m may not see her to best effect; still interesting and market confidence would be a positive.
