Form & Verdict
Three 7f AW/turf starts last year; didn't progress from debut runner-up finish, but ran okay from an unhelpful draw in a Newmarket maiden on second go; found Lingfield too sharp after being shuffled back early on next time, keeping on for third against male rivals; now gets more of a stamina test, returns to fillies' only and she's half-sister to 11.6f Group 1 winner Poptronic.

Placed in two 7f Polytrack novices last autumn and narrowly landed a Beverley novice (8.5f, good) on her return in April, but held in both handicaps in the meantime; only 1lb lower and others are preferred.

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.

Unexposed 3yo who won on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has been knocking on the door in both runs since; up another 2lb but she was only beaten a nose at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and is open to more progress; key player.

Won readily by 5l on last month's handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and might have been a shade unlucky not to folliow up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks later; moves up in trip today and could still have lots more to offer; good chance.

Useful pedigree (bred to stay 1m2f) and she's been a big improver from a very low starting point; hooded on last two outings, last time always front rank when justifying 6-5 favouritism by 5l in a six-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) on handicap debut; up 10lb and probably has more to give.

Front-runner who won her first five handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) last May/June and campaign concluded with close second of three to a progressive filly at Hamilton (1m1f) in August; no surprise to see a bold bid on her return, provided conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

Won four in a row once sent handicapping and maybe a steady pace was not ideal when close third of four at Hamilton (1m3f) latest outing; she's the one who set it (made the running on last four starts) and she needs to resume improvement in this step up from Class 5; unraced on softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Contested two 7f AW fillies' novices last year, winning at Southwell second up; that form has worked out; inexperienced apprentice booked to help off-set big weight (has 7lb penalty and she's the only 4yo, so there's weight for age); off since September.

Unexposed sort who turned in best effort when second in first-time hood over C&D last time (winner has since run well); there's likely more to come and she's interesting from a 2lb higher mark.

Won a Southwell novice in September (7f); shaped better than beaten distance suggests on handicap debut over C&D 90 days ago as she lost a good early position and had little hope of challenging from where she ended up (SP 7-2); looks worth another chance; hood goes on.

Won a four-runner Southwell novice in September; apprentice-ridden when pulling her chance away over 1m on her turf return and raced freely on her handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last month, where she left the impression she's capable of better; return to this trip should be fine if she settles.
