Form & Verdict
Unable to make a dent in Marine Wave's lead at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August but useful effort when chasing home the front-running winner at Ayr (extended 5f, good) last month; these weights are helpful but she often misses races on good to soft or slower, so some reservations remain.

Has a good record at York and she impressed when winning a good 6f handicap (good to firm) there in July; raced freely and could never get to grips with Marine Wave in a Listed race on Pontefract's stiffer track in August but this lesser test looks worth a go; not dismissed.

Runner-up in 6f Listed races on the other course here and at Salisbury in the spring, but she hasn't been quite on song since, even allowing for some interference when third to Quinault at Chester last time; needs to bounce back but she's certainly a contender on her best form.

Unbeaten in 6f and 7f handicaps (good to firm, good to soft and good), leaving it late over C&D in July and again delivered at just the right moment to follow up in a warm York handicap in August (two of those in the frame close up in Group races since); the likely strong pace will be ideal back at 6f and in the thick of it under penalty (raised same amount in future).
