Form & Verdict
Half-sister to a dual 7f Group winner (including 2yo) for her stable; never landed a blow on debut at Newbury (6f) last month, but that was likely a solid maiden and she may well do better over this extra furlong with the experience under her belt.

Never involved on Newbury debut (6f; 14-1) but she came on plenty for the run and the extra furlong when faring much better at Salisbury recently, travelling well but running green under pressure when a close second to the more experienced favourite; can improve further over 1m.

Form & Verdict
62,000gns yearling who started a single-figure price for her debut at Newmarket's July Meeting but was never really involved after swerving left at the start; easy to forgive her fifth from a flag start in heavy rain at Windsor (6f; 100-30) last time; that came on officially good ground which was swiftly changed to soft after the race; can do better.

Five-race maiden; last of five (beaten 46l) when returning from a three-month break (post wind surgery) over 1m3f at Kempton recently; it's difficult to say why tackling a longer trip will play to her strengths; better to focus elsewhere.

She has been hit and miss this year but it was her best effort when seeing out Salisbury's stiff mile strongly last month; had another off-day when well beaten here under a penalty one week later but that likely came too soon; new trip may unlock a bit more if she's on her A-game.
