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.

Recorded 33-1 success in a valuable 6f York handicap last summer and has run some good races over that trip as a 3yo, including when overcoming a wide draw with aplomb at Chester in May; failed to stay 7f on the AW on her final 2yo start but might have needed a rest by then; has a bit to prove but it's possible she'll fare better on this second attempt at the trip.
