Form & Verdict
Beaten just over 8l on her Chelmsford debut 12 weeks ago (1m) but the first two home now boast BHA ratings of 100 and 98 and it was an encouraging start; sire has plenty of winning stayers and there is encouragement for this longer trip on the dam's side of her pedigree; open to improvement.

Kept to AW for her first five starts and she won three of them, including handicaps at Kempton over this sort of trip in the spring; weak in the market when beaten 7l into second on her turf debut at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but maybe this drop back down in trip can assist.

A rising force who is 3-5 on AW overall and won 1m3f/1m4f handicaps at Kempton on her two starts this season; both were by a neck and, despite her pedigree, she now looks worth a go at 1m6f after the good scrap last time; up 5lb but turf debut may ask the bigger question.

Mixed form in three qualifying runs in the spring but she made a solid start in handicaps when a close third of six at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) two weeks ago; that was behind The Bay Warrior but she should benefit from that run and is open to more progress at this trip; possibilities.

Smart middle-distance pedigree; didn't get close to that level when reaching the frame in three qualifying runs at up to 1m4f on AW in February/March but no surprise were she to prove a different proposition for her top yard now handicapping after 169 days off; all the more interesting if backed.
