Form & Verdict
17-2, beaten 10l when ninth of 11 on debut at Newbury (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; however, she raced on her own for the first part of the race and her pedigree suggests she should be capable of considerably better.

Unplaced in both nurseries for Andrew Balding and sold for 27,000gns last October; however, she was an encouraging third of 14 at 50-1 on her stable and seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good) four weeks ago and could build on that run today; one of two fillies for the yard; interesting contender.

A Sandown maiden win over 5f was followed by a useful effort, beaten under 3l, in a Listed race at Newbury, but she has more to prove on 6f runs since, including on handicap debut latest; now has questions raised with cheekpieces fitted.

It looked a warm maiden at Ascot (6f, good) in which he made his debut 12 days ago, and he may benefit from the drop to 5f for the time being, but he was beaten a long way at 40-1 and a transformation is needed.

He's raced over 5f on his last five starts, winning at Sandown in May and finishing third there last month; jinked/unseated mid-race at Sandown last time; back up in trip today and it may well be a positive as he seemed at home over 7f when fourth in a C&D nursery last September; interesting.
