Form & Verdict
Struggled at York, in a competitive Class 2 handicap on just her fourth start, but that was a decent effort given she pulled hard and got shuffled back early; into calmer waters today and remaims open to improvement.

Won a novice at Hamilton (1m, good) last July and back on the scoresheet at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September on third handicap start; failed to kick on subsequently but had excuses for those two runs; there can be be optimism that 1m4f will suit; could go well in first-time tongue-tie on return.

First run on ground softer than good when she scored comfortably in six-runner handicap at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago, making most; her only run much beyond that was in June on second start, when runner-up over 1m4f, so there's a stamina question on this appearance at 1m6f; she is also now 7lb higher than last time.

Stablemate of Donna Nook; unraced on ground softer than good; ran respectably at Leicester (1m2f) last week, taking record to 32163; gained her novice success in Scotland and, with better form possibly still to come, enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Two easy wins for Alec Voikhansky in July and another solid run off her revised mark last time; stays further, so won't mind the stiffer 1m2f, but will need a career-best effort taking on some less-exposed 3yos.

Registered a 1m2f double on good to firm last July, with the first leg at this track; off the boil in the autumn (with cheekpieces added on final start) but one result is that she's now just 1lb above her last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Hung left round right-handed Salisbury last time, which would be a concern, and this is a deeper race than the two small-field handicaps in which she's finished third to date; needs more back from two months off.

Won once as a 2yo and also when making all in six-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good) in September; a little below that form under a penalty at Yarmouth (11.4f, soft) eight days later, again front-running, but should be more interesting now dropped back in trip.

Completed a double with her dominant display at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; held as favourite in three runs since but that includes a near-miss at Epsom, and she had some traffic issues at Leicester last time; still has potential after only nine starts and she's not ruled out at this new trip.

Wins at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) this summer before short-head second at Epsom (1m2f, good) last time; this front-running 3yo has a progressive profile and can make a bold bid under the in-form Paul Hainey.
