Form & Verdict
Late foal; 50-1 and slowly away when never dangerous in 7f novice here last month, carrying head awkwardly in closing stages; there was encouragement for this longer trip, including from her pedigree, but others have far more pressing claims.

Creditable third over C&D in January but she's struggled since, including over hurdles in March; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Late foal; 80,000euros yearling; on pedigree, not sure to get 1m2f; 25-1 and blew the start in maiden at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) four weeks ago but ending 3l fifth of six showed some ability and she should improve.

Successful debut on AW in February and solid efforts in handicaps at 1m2f and about 1m3f until 1m6f proved too much for her at Goodwood latest (first-time tongue-tie now abandoned); can be competitive again.

Fair form when beaten 4l at Newmarket last September and again when no match for an impressive newcomer at Kempton (Polytrack) in December, both over 1m; that very much sets the standard in this field and 1m2f is likely to help; unraced stablemate Magical Treasure could pose problems, on paper, so their market strength needs a close look.

Made fairly encouraging debut for the Gosdens in February (1m2f) but two heavy defeats have followed (1m4f/1m3f), the latter for this stable; drops in trip for handicap debut; leap of faith required to support her.

Last of ten at Lingfield (1m2f) at turn of the year; much better when making most with blinkers in maiden at Kempton (1m3f, again Polytrack; 20-1) 17 days later but she still needs to raise her game markedly and seems to need some persuasion; cheekpieces this time.
