Gained a first success in 7f Thirsk nursery in August; resumed from eight months off with an encouraging fourth of seven in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs considering with cheekpieces added.

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.

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.

Exposed, having raced 19 times, but has placed three times at up to 1m at Redcar (good/good to firm) this spring; handily drawn for one who tends to race close to the pace; should go well for in-form Roger Fell.

Form & Verdict
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.
