Flat scorer who has raced twice over hurdles, looking value for a bit more than the neck winning margin in juvenile event over C&D (good to soft) latest having idled in front; interesting contender at the weights.

Lightly raced for Michael Bell but won a 1m2f AW maiden and was close up in a Goodwood handicap; that Flat form is the best on show here and it was an encouraging start over hurdles when not beaten far in a maiden for mares at Kempton (staying on; good to soft); considered.

Promising on Flat for Michael Bell (best RPR 84), AW winner at 1m2f; beaten a long way out over 1m6f (good to soft) in October and limited evidence suggests good ground suits best; hurdle debut for new yard.

Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back.

Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show.

Sometimes front-runs; won a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft) in September; the solid sequence continued when she was beaten a neck in three-runner race at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago but this race may be a bit too competitive.

Has won two of her last four, a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft; Ancient Myth last) 11 days ago; latter win was convincing, arguably a career best, and she has form here too; likely stays this trip; player.
