Form & Verdict
Ran out the easy winner of a C&D event in August, her handicap debut, but she could only manage a midfield finish at Kempton two weeks later; left the impression she was a bit better than the result there, however, and could have more to come; widest stall to overcome.

Jersey Rocs appeals more of the two recent C&D winners but there are other runners of interest. Jazzy Angel (second choice) is one of them but BEYOND WORDS wasn’t seen to best effect at Kempton when last seen nine weeks ago and her earlier C&D win was impressive.[Paul Smith]
