50,000gns yearling; travelled strongly before pulling clear at Chepstow (good; tongue tied) 11 days ago and carried plenty of confidence in the market; clearly useful and she's well drawn here.

Record of 0-9 since debut success but she is somewhat threatening to double her tally, having finished second in two of her three outings this term, latest at Bath (5f, firm); not ruled out.

Best effort since switched to AW when runner-up on penultimate start; capable of being involved and she gained sole win on turf; however, 0-8 since that debut performance.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Successful debut at Chepstow (5f) last May; that didn't help her handicap mark but she returned to action with a good second of nine over C&D this month to one who'd had a run; back up 1lb; can be involved again.

Form & Verdict
Had subsequent winner Artista behind when a 40-1 runner-up over C&D but then dropped away to be 5l behind Ali Shuffle at Chester; wouldn't be without hope if tapping back into the promise of her debut effort.

It's possible 6f suits better but some of last autumn's good nursery/Listed form came at 5f and she was beaten only 2l from a wide draw when sixth of 12 at Chester (6f, good) last Wednesday; not ruled out each-way.

Campaigned at Listed level, with mixed results, since scoring off 13lb lower in last handicap attempt; peak figure may not be reliable and she needs to prove current mark is appropriate.

Two 5f wins last year; seemed to excel herself in Listed company at Ayr in September and Redcar one month later; even those efforts need leaving well behind if she is to take this.

Form & Verdict
Kept Ali Shuffle honest on her debut here before going one better at Pontefract; only second under a penalty earlier this week at Carlisle but the winner was an odds-on newcomer who looks well above average; good chance.

Scored three times at 2yrs (including in 6f Listed event at Newmarket in June) and also runner-up in the Molecomb here; returned with a good fourth of 13 in Group 3 at Chantilly (5.5f, good) 18 days ago so must enter calculations.

Drawn wide on both her visits here but ran on well on debut and then showed bright speed to make pretty much all 11 days ago (good to firm); has a bit to find on the figures but could easily deliver another personal best.

Went close in the Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good) in May when clear with Wednesday's Molecomb runner-up, and similar form when close fourth of five in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) next time; well beaten in C&D Listed race latest but that was her first run on fast ground; not ruled out.
