Form & Verdict
Has shown early speed, as when second of six in a novice over C&D at the start of the month; ran to a similar level when fourth of nine in a Chelmsford maiden (6f, Polytrack) a week later, but returning to this trip is no bad thing; respected on handicap debut.

C&D winner (good) in May, but she's not hit the same level since and was a long way below form at Redcar last time; now drops back in trip but she has something to prove and yard also runs Canaria Queen.

Won over C&D (good) in May and perhaps the return to Ripon will be a positive; however, she's been unplaced on her three starts since, most recently fourth to Zoustar Dreams at Nottingham, and she needs something extra.

Sent off 22-1 when making a successful stable debut at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in February, but not in the same form since; return to AW may help in the refitted headgear, but still some way down the list.

Sole win from 18 starts came on her first outing for Michael Keady last February, but she lost her way for that stable and finished last of six in a classified at Lingfield on her debut for this yard 15 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Recorded an RPR of 70 when winning a C&D handicap last February on her first run for Michael Keady; little to shout about afterwards but she starts out for a new stable (same owner) off a reduced mark; drawn widest but a revival could be imminent.

Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition.
