Winner of two of her five nursery runs; ran right up to her best when second of eight at Carlisle 11 days ago (7f, soft); step up in trip should suit on pedigree and she's one to take seriously on AW debut.

Two-time winner on turf for Karl Burke; always in rear on debut for this yard at the Curragh this month; hood goes on now but best watched until she finds her form again.

Form & Verdict
Didn't show much in three qualifying runs but, having been gelded, he improved to make a successful nursery debut here (8.6f) 24 days ago; up 5lb but the longer trip can help and he's not fully exposed just yet.

Reportedly suited by step up to 8.6f (from 7f) when beating three rivals on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (AW; front pair clear) in August but was disappointing odds-on favourite over 9.4f there 12 days ago (raced too freely), and is not easy to predict now back at 7f and with blinkers tried.

Clear promise in her first two starts; never featured at Kempton last month but this trip is likely to suit now handicapping and she's open to improvement.

Both runs in June; stepped up a bit from her Chelmsford debut when fourth of six at Newmarket (7f, good) later in month, but was still beaten around 10l; nurseries may see her in a better light.

Trainer, who's enjoyed most success with older horses thus far, got off the mark with 2yos with a 28-1 newcomer for the same owners late last month; this filly will need to improve a deal on her AW debut if she's to double the tally.

Form & Verdict
Best effort so far when third of seven in 1m nursery at Chepstow last week; still has time to do better and although she's not bred to need this far, she was plugging on last time; still looks vulnerable from out of the weights.

Dead-heated in a small-field C&D nursery in September (demoted having hung right) off a 2lb lower mark; a mixed bag since and is totally exposed but seems happiest on Tapeta and stamina is assured.
