Form & Verdict
Finished down the field in three runs this summer but she was only beaten around 5l in a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 66-1) last time; this is much more realistic and she needs a close look dropped in trip on nursery debut.

Both wins at 5f on Southwell AW; has had some excuses this year but she put up a good show at Leicester (6f, good to firm) this month against an unexposed sprinter and this easier test at 6f can suit; should go well.

Single-figure odds in three maiden/novice events, with her best effort a 2l fifth of 11 at Pontefract (5f, good) on her second start; has plenty of speed in pedigree and is still early days but she needs improvement on nursery/AW debut.

Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Tawaazan (including AW; RPR 99); reached the frame over C&D and at Pontefract (5f, good) in April and he had tough task at Chester (Lily Agnes) in final run in the spring; returns after four months off but he's still unexposed and is interesting contender on nursery debut; been gelded and blinkers are applied.
