Showed plenty of ability when making the frame in all three starts last autumn, especially when placed in 1m novices at Newmarket (good to firm) and Kempton (AW); didn't see much daylight on her reappearance/handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in May and high on list back in a novice.

Made it 0-9 when well beaten at Salisbury (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and the drop back to 7f doesn't seem an obvious plus given how well she kept on for second over 9.4f at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) two starts ago; however, she could still run well back on Tapeta in first-time cheekpieces.

Ex-William Haggas; still a maiden but showed a fair level of ability last year, notably when placed in novices at Leicester (7f) and Newmarket (1m), but she was well below her best in a Chelmsford AW handicap on final start (1m2f); sold 30,000gns since; acts on AW but has stamina to prove.

Closely related to the same owner's useful sprinter Blackrod (RPR 107); 13-2 when making a successful debut in a Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm; hooded) 18 days ago, winning going away despite showing signs of greenness; should take the beating despite his 7lb penalty; a previous winner took this race last year.
