Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a Bath maiden (5.5f, good) in September, but disappointed on soft back there next time; failed to get majorly competitive on recent AW debut at Newcastle (5f; 33-1); has eased 2lb since, and her pedigree suggests that this extra furlong could suit.

Triple-figure odds and no obvious positives from three AW runs (7f-8.5f) in novice and maiden company; drops back in trip for handicap debut at an appropriate level, so merits a basic market check.

Form & Verdict
Made all to justify favouritism over 7f here (from 6lb lower) on penultimate start and gave it another good go from the front when fourth subsequently; dropping back to 6f (0-5) looks a suitable avenue to explore given such a positive run style; one to seriously consider.

Sole success came when trained by Michael Appleby in January (7f, AW); two moderate runs for Harry Eustace in June and subsequently sold for 2,200gns; headgear removed when sixth of nine on stable debut here (6f, good) last month and she needs to show more.

Ran his best race for Alice Haynes when fitted with a tongue-tie at Thirsk (6f, good to soft; fourth) in September; gelded, and has moved to Stuart Williams; dam was a 6f AW winner, so he's worth another go on Tapeta; possibilities if ready to roll off a 155-day absence.
