Both wins have been on Tapeta and latest was at Southwell (6f) in her final run last season; 4lb higher on her return but she's still lightly raced on turf and should be unfazed by this drop back in trip; needs watching in market.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden who was well held at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 17 days ago but that was after a break and she looks interesting on some placed form in 5f nurseries last year; dropped 2lb after that last run and she's not ruled out back in trip.

Just 1-34 and her latest Wolverhampton effort (5f, AW) was modest, but she had previously run well under a positive ride when second of 12 in a 0-55 handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm); each-way claims if producing her best.

Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here.

Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latest a smooth success in a 0-55 handicap 18 days ago; makes debut for her new stable off a 6lb higher mark with blinkers replacing other forms of headgear; below par in one run on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
Well held in maiden/novice events but his RPRs have been progressive and his fourth at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month was promising after a lengthy absence; looks interesting now switched to a handicap and he's bred to be much better than this mark.
