Failed to threaten in sales race at York three weeks ago but prior to that she caught the eye when fourth on nursery debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm), where she came out best in the near-side group; can be a contender if tapping back into that promise now back in a handicap.

Made all in Newbury maiden (6f, good) last month on third run and her subsequent nursery debut fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) can be upgraded as she fared best of the four in the near-side group; Miss Fascinator, who was second home from the near-side group, bolted up at Newmarket on Saturday; half-sister to yard's two-time York Listed winner Nymphadora; interesting.

Has run to a similar level of form on her last two starts, the latest when a beaten favourite at Newmarket (1m, good; first-time visor); drops a further 2lb and blinkers now go on; wouldn't have to improve too much to get competitive.

Just about her best run yet when beaten 3l behind an improver at Wolverhampton (9.4f) ten days ago; had no excuses there but always a chance that the new headgear might trigger something.
