Didn't need to improve to win a Carlisle fillies' novice last month (6f, good); makes her handicap/AW debut with potential and market support would be encouraging.

Steady progress with each of her three starts, most recently finishing third of nine at Southwell 18 days ago (7f, AW; made the running); makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and she is greatly respected.

Twice-raced filly who went down by only half a length at Carlisle (6f) last time; bred to do better still (related to several winners for her owner) and to stay this longer trip; ought to go close at the least.

Form & Verdict
Improved on her debut effort when second of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW; 125-1) in June, catching the eye as she stayed on well; makes turf debut but not certain to be suited by the drop back in trip.

Didn't look to have any excuses on her handicap debut last week when back over 7f at Newcastle; remains lightly raced, however, and tonight's easier 7f may help under 5lb claimer Mason Paetel (1-2 for the yard).

Has shown clear promise with her eyecatching second at Newcastle (7f, AW) and front-running third at Carlisle (6f, good) in last two of her three runs; pulled a long way clear of the fourth last time and that was another step forward; shortlisted.
