Form & Verdict
Lightly-raced ex-Irish filly proved well suited by stepping up in trip when readily getting off the mark in 1m2f handicap here 12 days ago; hiked up 8lb but another bold showing is on the cards on her first go at 1m4f.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off.

Three-time Newcastle winner who made the breakthrough on turf at Haydock (1m3f, good) last July; acquitted herself respectably in Class 2 contests at York (fifth) and Doncaster (seventh) last autumn, but her form has tapered off; fast easing handicap mark.

Progressive for cheekpieces going on early last year, with three course wins, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; again goes without the headgear back from six months off and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh.
