Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden for three different yards; struggled in her first three handicaps but she showed signs of a revival when close fifth in a C&D handicap last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she has claims if she can build on that.

All her racing has been done over longer trips, including up to 1m4f, but the drop to 6f at Kempton (AW) last time resulted in almost her closest finish; tailed off in her turf race, over 1m2f in June, and she still needs to improve significantly on that latest never-nearer fourth of ten.
