Winless this season and he came in a below-par sixth of 11 over C&D 11 days ago; more is required if he's to double his tally.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Michael Bell

Won a 5f novice at Leicester as a 2yo; the handicapper has been firmly in command this year, with headgear making no difference on his last two starts; steps up to 7f and drops into Class 6 company but others are more appealing.

Form & Verdict
Has shown promise on all her three runs, leading long way when second of six in 5f Nottingham novice 27 days ago; she should have more to offer now stepping into nursery company; big shout for yard among the winners.

All three wins over 5f on sharp tracks, most recently when making all at Thirsk (good) in May; found out by Ascot's stiffer test and tough company at the Royal meeting in June and needs another push to win off her current mark.

Three wins to her name, all on sharp tracks, the latest when making all at Thirsk (5f, good) 19 days ago; the combination of a 6lb rise, other pace and considerably stiffer opposition could leave her vulnerable.

Won on nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) in July but she's finished down the field in three runs since and latest was on slow ground at Carlisle (6f) 11 days ago; still 3lb higher than for her win and she needs to raise her game at this new trip.

Won a five-runner race at Musselburgh on nursery debut last month but she underperformed, again trying to come from off the pace, in another one over that same C&D (5f, good) ten days later; needs to resume progress on this move up to 6f for AW debut.

Held in fourth in both runs and latest was in a four-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good), but she wasn't beaten far and that was a major step forward from her debut effort; this is no easy task against Utmost Respect but she's second best on the figures and is open to more progress.
