Mixed form in five 2yo runs but she won a 7f nursery at Thirsk (good to firm; 5-2) on her penultimate run last season; only 2lb higher here and needs checking in market at this new trip on her return.

Second favourite for nursery debut at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and always prominent to win that seven-runner race by a head; up 3lb but remains one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Seems to be finding her level and it was a solid effort when beaten under 1l in fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) one week ago; due to go back to that mark but can race off 2lb lower here; case to be made on that basis.

Weakened over 7f on second start; best run when fourth in Pontefract novice (good to firm) and made a fair fist of her first nursery when beaten under 3l here (also 6f, good) a fortnight ago having mostly raced alone; kept on too and worth another go at 7f.

Positives to take from her two Thirsk efforts (6f-7f) but a representative of her trainer had no explanation for the poor run at Musselburgh (1m, good; first attempt at trip) latest; drops back to 6f from an easing mark; isn't discounted.

Form & Verdict
Solid run on second start when fifth of 11 at Chelmsford (AW) in June; that form has worked out nicely and it was a good effort in cheekpieces (retained) when stepped up to 7f and going close on nursery debut at Chepstow (good) a fortnight ago; attracted support that day and she's a big threat off the same mark; drawn widest, though.
