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.

All four wins have been over 6f, the most recent coming on soft ground at Ayr in June; however, she's been held in both starts since and now drops back to 5f; may be high enough in the weights for now.

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.

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.
