Newbury novice winner over 6f and ran in a Listed race on final run last season; a disappointing return on handicap debut leaves her with questions to answer; unraced beyond 6f.

Broke duck on second start, at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; lost out only narrowly in a Salisbury novice next time but had more to do when down the field in a 5f Listed race when last seen nine months ago; race readiness the query today.

Won here (6f, good to firm) last month on second start and very close third in Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) since, when behind Indy B who is declared in the opener; it's possible she'll be suited by the drop back to 5f but she has quite a bit to find against today's opponents.

New Bay half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Fondo Blanco (RPR 89), out of Group-placed 7f scorer (99); perhaps a buzzy sort (wears hood on debut) but is suitably bred.

Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.

Hooded both starts; never raced smoothly from the word go on Salisbury debut (6f) so did well to force a dead-heat on the line; looked more professional when third under a penalty at Thirsk (7f; also good to firm) four weeks ago and this stiffer test at the trip can suit; should improve.

Dead-heated for first in a novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in June and has run well in defeat in 6f nurseries on next two starts (good/heavy); however, she's well down the pecking order on form this afternoon.

Five runs in fillies' novice events as a 2yo (5f-6f), showing her best form when a close third at Nottingham in July (third start; 5f, good to soft); more realistic chance now handicapping; betting can guide after her six months off.

28-1 third in C&D novice (good to soft) in July on penultimate start was fair form, but that's far and away the best of her four performances; admittedly bigger odds in the others (150-1 for latest) and that's her only race over 5f, but she is probably vulnerable again.

There has twice been a whiff of ability from her four starts, including in fourth of seven here (1m, firm) on handicap debut two weeks ago when she finished on the heels of Atalanta Mist; both have been dropped just 1lb; dam 1m2f/1m4f winner, so this step up in trip might spark some improvement.
