Progressed well last season, her four wins from just five outings culminating in a clearcut Listed success at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy; also handles good to firm); shaped as if needing the run when fifth in Group 3 there on reappearance; gives the impression she'll relish this extra yardage, and with further improvement on the cards she's high on the list.

Won from the front at 10-11 in a Newmarket novice (1m, good to firm) in June and always prominent when following up in tenacious fashion, with the first two 12l clear, on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, soft) last month; that puts her into each-way contention in today's company and she's progressing.

Promise in two AW runs in December, which she built on substantially when winning from the front at 10-11 in six-runner novice at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on last month's return, drawing well clear through the final 1f; there seemed to be lots of promise there for 1m2f on today's handicap debut.

Progressive 3yo and the winner of her last two starts at this trip, in Ripon novice and much better form in Ascot fillies handicap (good-to-soft) last month, making all; good bit more improvement required on ratings but from a much-respected yard and don't rule out.

All runs on good or quicker ground but she enters handicaps on the back of a clearcut novice win at Ripon (1m) and improvers from this yard are a dangerous species; interesting.

Bumped into one last time, when cracking late over a stiff 1m, and that effort was close to being on a par with her previous Yarmouth near-miss; player for a yard in fine form (boasts a 33% strike-rate with 3yos here).

Has shown modest form and no real progress in her first three races (7f-1m2f); makes handicap debut and much depends on whether she'll appreciate today's first run on slow ground; pedigree bodes well.

Her form figures suggest she improved once handicapping last year, but her Southwell win (1m3f, Tapeta) came in a slowly run race and she was beaten over 8l into second of three at Newmarket (1m2f, good) on her final outing; more needed back from six months off.

Off the mark by a nose at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in September on latest start, coming from last of seven; went close on the other course here (1m2f) the time before and those are her only two runs in handicaps, also her only two runs with a hood; lightly raced 3yo who may be capable of further progress and faces very limited opposition today.
