66-1 and never in contention on her Doncaster debut last October (7f, soft); stable has enjoyed success with her half-brother Archduke Ferdinand (RPR 92) so not unreasonable to expect better at some point this year.

Won her first two starts in handicaps last summer and had excuses off her revised mark latterly; a surprise maiden win on comeback last spring gives hope as she returns from eight months off and she remains low mileage.

Progressive type with three 6f wins from six attempts, the latest at Carlisle (good to soft) in July; another fine effort when beaten 1l at Haydock (7f, good to firm; pulled hard) last month; this switch back to sprinting looks a positive move and she's high on the list again.

Form & Verdict
Promising debut effort at Navan last October (6f, good to yielding) when third of 19 at a big price; made a threatening move in a 1m maiden at Dundalk in December but was outstayed late on; sold out of Mark Fahey's yard for 40,000gns in January; return to sprinting looks a good move and new connections quick to fit a tongue tie; major player.

Eight-race maiden who managed only fifth of nine when back in a handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; drops from Class 4 today but this a competitive Class 5; sports refitted tongue-tie and first-time blinkers for return to 7f; others have more pressing claims.

Best form was the two runs in Ireland late last year; 0-5 for current yard and only fifth of seven in a 1m handicap before running poorly last week in a 7f novice (tried cheekpieces); effective at 6f but others are safer.

Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out.

Both C&D runs in recent weeks have been encouraging but the bare form of her third three weeks ago can't be rated too highly; open to improvement though and she's more appealing than many.
