Filly by Twilight Son; two promising efforts from her three runs so far including a clear second behind an odds-on rival at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) last month; that form puts her firmly in the picture and she's open to more progress.

Closing Beverley win last autumn has been well advertised since and she turned in a career-best effort on her recent C&D comeback; the pair she came away with that day have let the side down since but she pulled hard and hit a bit of traffic, so will rightly be popular.

Form & Verdict
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in June but he failed to build on that at Newbury (well-held fifth) last month; has bit to prove after that backward step and not sure this drop to 5f will suit (has plenty of stamina on dam's side).
