J: Georgia Dobie

T: Edward Smyth-Osbourne

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.

Unable to get into the action at Chester recently but some good 6f turf efforts previously, following on from a front-running win on Wolverhampton Tapeta (5f) in February; may well have a good run in her back on AW.

Made all at Wolverhampton (5f, Class 6) in February and has progressed since; runner-up to Twirler at Windsor in July, she was doing her best work late at Newmarket (6f; third) recently; goes well for the 7lb claimer Ashley Lewis; chance from 1lb higher.

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.
