Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of last month's debut third at Newbury (7f, good) to win by 5l at Thirsk (7f, good) last time; today's race could be a good opportunity for this highly likeable filly to defy a 7lb penalty.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ed Walker

Won over this trip in her last two qualifying runs in May but she's found things tough in two handicaps since and was beaten a long way at Newbury (1m, good to soft) last month; still unexposed but she needs to bounce back on this switch to AW.

Won over 7f at Thirsk (good) and Haydock (good to firm) in May, but finished a well-held sixth of 11 on her return/handicap debut at Sandown (7f, soft) three weeks ago; 1m should be within range, but she has questions to answer if the ground remains on the soft side.

Mixed bag for Joseph O'Brien, showing respectable form in Group races but then unable to get her head in front in lesser races; ran another sound race when pushing a progressive winner close in a 7f novice at Haydock and Ryan Moore rides on this belated handicap debut.

52,000gns foal whose dam is from a good family; well beaten at 12-1 on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) but no surprise if she takes a sizeable step forward today for her respected trainer.

Form & Verdict
Beaten a long way when 3-1 for last month's debut at Newmarket (1m, good to soft); a leap of faith is required to support her today but this 1,650,000euros sister to Group 1 winner Saffron Beach is in top hands and should be capable of considerably better at some stage.

Placed on first start for this trainer at Southwell (1m; hooded) in April; hasn't kicked on since, but did emerge with a suitable excuse (lost both hind shoes) when a beaten 6-4 favourite at Nottingham (1m2f) latest; slowly easing mark.

Third at Leicester (good) last time was her most affirmative statement on turf or over 1m2f, as well as being recorded in a fairly well-stocked 0-70; not one for blind faith given her propensity to pull, but this does look an easier opportunity.

Seven-race maiden; solid third of ten at Southwell (1m, AW; first-time hood) in April but she didn't see this trip out when behind Jack Sparowe here on her next start; again well held in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) over 1m at Kempton 17 days ago and others make more appeal.

She's been a fair fifth on both starts (7f, good/good to firm) and can give another good account, but improvement is needed to beat Woroodd.
