J: Andrew Mullen

T: Jennie Candlish

Won one of three bumpers; fourth this summer in her two races under Flat rules but there the similarity between them ends, as the first race was a AW maiden (9.4f) and the second a six-runner Group 3 at York (1m6f; 125-1); the latter was a slowly run affair but she came from last and was one of the fastest finishers, so a high rating should not be laughed out of court.

Won at Hexham last August in the first of her three bumpers but a Grade 2 at Aintree (125-1) proved far too tough in April; will build at some point on the modest form shown in a 9.4f maiden on her recent first venture under Flat rules, but she's impossible to fancy today.

Twelfth foal, by Blue Point; closely related to three winners including Qaraaba (7f-1m2f including US Grade 3; RPR 109) and Salsada (1m2f Flat, 96; 2m1f/2m4f hurdle), half-sister to four more including Kifaah (6f/7f; 103) and Mubaraza (1m5f-2m; 106); dam 1m4f winner (86); stable having a great year and she's one for the shortlist on this debut.

Handed a wide draw and similar form in two 7f AW Kempton novices in the spring, latterly third of nine at the end of May; absent since but turf no problem on pedigree and she can likely do better; market interest would boost her case.
