Course winner (1m5f, good) who went very close at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; she was last of five here (1m5f, good) last Saturday but was beaten just under 2l having led at a steady pace, and she's not ruled out.

Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; still looks feasibly treated but she hasn't really fired in three runs this year and needs to rediscover her spark.

Well-bred daughter of Iffraaj who caught many an eye when a fast-finishing third of nine on her debut at Lingfield (1m; 11-1) last week, really getting the hang of things after running green early on; should improve considerably and probably the one to beat.

From a family that has served her connections well and she shaped encouragingly when second of nine at Lingfield (1m; 11-2) last week, doing her best work late on after showing considerable greenness; like third-placed War And Love, she seems sure to improve, and perhaps by some margin.
