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.

Well beaten in two of her three races but the second here to Box Clever (7f, good to firm) offers hope off this mark now into nurseries.

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.

Made the breakthrough on handicap debut/reappearance when taking Nottingham event (8.5f) in April and a 3lb nudge didn't stop her going in again over that C&D (also good) a fortnight ago; raised a further 4lb but that latest success was a cosy one and she's on the up.

Yet to score but she's been competitive on plenty of occasions and her third at Kempton (1m, AW) in October reads well; encouraging comeback when beaten 2l over that C&D last month and she didn't get the breaks when third at Windsor (1m, good to firm; Crazee Icon second) last Monday; draw possibly asks a question but she goes off the same mark and looks a leading contender.
