Can lead; has form at both sprint trips but her win came in a 6f Chepstow maiden (good); had the widest draw to overcome when finishing last of nine on Lingfield AW in May and has more going for her in this lower grade back at 6f; first-time cheekpieces fitted.

Mainly consistent last year, including a win in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good), and her final effort can be forgiven on account of the draw; has to overcome a 230-day absence, though, and she has the outside stall.

Beaten at long odds-on for debut on Wolverhampton AW (5f) and second on two occasions since, albeit she didn't go down without strong resistance to the Haggas-trained favourite at Brighton (6f) recently, recording another improved effort; good form chance back at 5f.

Promising second on Wolverhampton debut (5f, AW) and she built on that when filling the same position behind an odds-on rival at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last month; pulled a long way clear of the third in that race and she's open to more progress on this step up in trip; respected.

Well held in the end on her Chester debut but she was drawn wide, lost a shoe and didn't see it out over 5.5f; didn't build on that at Catterick but she showed plenty of pace and may not have been suited by the slow ground; still early days and she's a key player on her initial form.
