Newmarket debut winner who wasn't helped by a slow start when runner-up to Secret Hideaway in a Listed race at York (5f, good to firm); while this assignment demands appreciably more, her trainer knows a thing or two about winning 2yo races here and he's always rated her.

Did well to come from the back of the field to win at 7-1 on last month's debut at Newmarket (5f, good to soft); the form looks solid and there can be optimism she'll improve for a trainer enjoying a fine spring with his 2yos; she's one to consider.

Won a big-field nursery (6f, good to firm) at last season's Ebor meeting; good second to Cherry Baker over C&D on her seasonal reappearance and 4lb better off with that rival today; drawn in stall 1 on that occasion but she's widest today which makes it easy enough to look elsewhere.

Only fourth of five on 6f Newmarket nursery debut but bounced back with a bang to land a big-field nursery at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, edging ahead late in a style which suggests 7f should be within range; that form has already been boosted and she should remain very competitive off 4lb higher.
