Twice-raced filly who is far less exposed than most of her rivals; got up on the line at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) then ran respectably at Kempton (AW) where she conceded weight all round; still open to progress and is interesting back on turf.

Shaded a tight finish at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last month but demoted to second after giving her rival a bump; no mistake in novice at Redcar (1m, soft) 12 days ago, registering a runaway win from the front, but that was at 8-13 in a five-runner novice, getting off the mark at eighth attempt, and she looks out of her depth with today's assignment.

Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work.
