Sole win in ten races came on final run of last season in a 5f novice; beaten four times since a gelding operation, no closer than about 4l; cheekpieces replace the visor tried last time.

Ended his 2yo campaign by shading a tight finish 5f Leicester novice (good to soft) in October; returned with a couple of respectable placed efforts over 6f/5f this spring but ran poorly back at Leicester latest; has a visor added on the back of that and also switches to AW for the first time.

Off the mark by a short head in a 5f novice (good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; two creditable efforts since returning from a break and steps back up to 6f with place claims.

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.

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 two of her four nursery runs for the Crisfords, including over C&D in September (good ground); improvement necessary to overcome this mark but she can't be ruled out on her first run for Robert Cowell.

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.

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.
