Form & Verdict
She was running well in defeat earlier in the season when most of her stablemates weren't and something has clicked this month, running away with 6f handicaps at Ripon and Ayr on her last two starts (both on good ground); the handicapper hasn't missed those two wide-margin successes and she comes here fully 15lb higher than last time; that said, she's a filly on the up and needs serious consideration.

She rattled off a hat-trick at 6f on good ground around this time last year and was back in the groove when scoring at Ayr (6f, soft) four weeks ago; has been put back to her career-high mark (0-2) but there's a solid chance she can defy it this time.

Reeled off a 6f hat-trick last July, one of them here, scaling the handicap in the process; promising run at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month, her second run of the year, and she now has something to build on; unraced on slower than good but she is by Mayson out a mare whose best form came on slower than good; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Promising 2yo debut (6f, heavy); down the field in hot maiden on his reappearance at the Craven meeting before making no mistake when a warm favourite over C&D in May, coming from off the pace to win a shade comfortably; no impact on handicap debut at Ascot two weeks ago (7f, good to firm) but he retains some potential.
