Form & Verdict
Won twice in quick succession (1m AW & turf) last September; close enough to those levels (RPR 62) when no match for the ready winner Soul Dance at Nottingham (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago; yet to fully convince (0-3) beyond that trip.

She should be well handicapped now and her last two runs have both been respectable; cheekpieces tried last time are now replaced by first-time blinkers; one to consider.

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Change of tactics and off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good; 10-1) three starts back; she's held her form well - without progressing - making the frame at Nottingham and Hamilton (8.5f); dam was a 1m2f-1m4f winner (RPR 91) so she deserves another chance to prove herself over 1m2f.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden; mainly backwards since her 'best' effort at Newcastle (7f maiden; third, 50-1) last September; stamina as of yet untested - dam was successful at up to 8.4f - over this far; surprising if she's the answer.

Eight-race maiden; runner-up in an 8.5f novice at Nottingham (good to firm) last August but, while she's proved consistent enough since, she hasn't progressed either; returns from a 251-day absence for her first start since wind surgery, so perhaps that can yield improvement.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite on last two starts, but she has been knocking on the door, notably when second-best to Mariner over C&D (good); she usually runs this track well - form figures 512 - and it's a positive that she has Joanna Mason aboard for the first time; chance.

Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here.

All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player.
