Form & Verdict
Ran well when fourth in two Group 3s (7f, good to soft/soft) last summer, but hasn't been at the top of her game this season and was out the back on handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good) in May; record is now 1-8 and has something to prove after a break.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed filly who won a Kempton novice (6f, AW) last autumn and completed a double when scoring on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (tongue-tie added) in April; 4lb higher back on turf after another break but she's open to more progress and should be unfazed by this step back up in trip; respected.

Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.

Made it 2-3 on AW when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last April; then off until the autumn, when running some respectable races on turf; has to better that form to win off her current mark but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not discounted.
