Won at Chantilly (5.5f, good to soft) last June on sole 2yo start; below that form when 4l third of six on belated reappearance in Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) last month but travelled well and she could improve for that outing and today's drop back in trip; cheekpieces go on; chance.

Form & Verdict
Her dam was a US Grade 3 winner and she easily made all at 13-2 on her debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in September; that was an impressive start to her career and she holds strong claims under a 7lb penalty today.

Ran out the easy winner of a 6f novice at Kempton on her debut last September; disappointed at Lingfield on her reappearance, second of four having been weak in the market (hung right); moves into handicaps with potential and this track lends itself to her racing style; one to consider.

J: Kieren Fox

Just one win from 22 starts but that came at Brighton (6f, good) last May and he was runner-up on AW at Lingfield last month; remains well handicapped on old form and he's in the mix back on turf.

J: Benoit De La Sayette

T: Michael Attwater

Last season's campaign fizzled out but he made a fairly encouraging return in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month, keeping on steadily from the rear to finish in midfield; now 6lb lower than for last spring's win at Brighton (6f, good); a possible.

Form & Verdict
There's potential in her pedigree but he failed to beat a rival on her two runs for David Evans in August 2023; absent since and probably best watched on her stable debut.
