Promise on her AW debut before springing a surprise at Chester 18 days ago; given a canny ride in front there (extended 1m2f; stamina on the dam's side) in a novice in which the two favourites pulled away their chance, so easy to pick holes in that.

Won at Chester (1m2f, good) in July on second run; not at the same level in Ripon novice (1m, good) 18 days later, when slowly away; returns from a break to make handicap debut and she retains potential back up in trip.

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).

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.

Popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta (1m) last month but she didn't hit the same level when fourth at Chepstow (1m, good; 5-2 favourite) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more back up in trip; 1lb out of the weights.

Sole win from 12 came in the mud at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last September; didn't offer much in her first three starts this year, and only a smidgen more when sixth of nine at Kempton (1m; 28-1, beaten 3l) four weeks ago.

Haydock second last summer reads well and she was entitled to have needed her AW comeback after ten months off; that was a solid effort considering she was buzzy and this look the ideal opening (taken out of a handicap last month thanks to fast ground).

Record of 4232 in novice/maiden events on turf and again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last October; shaped on that latest outing as though the drop back in trip may be a positive and this unexposed 4yo could have a big part to play on her reappearance.
