Very modest form over hurdles and well beaten at 25-1 on her Flat handicap debut here (1m4f, good) two months ago; she's hard to fancy on the back of that but the first-time tongue-tie may help this bumper winner and she's not written off.

0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run.

Form & Verdict
Fourth here over 7f on debut last November and improved on that when runner-up to subsequent Listed winner Blue Bolt at Newbury (1m, good) in June; held in second when 2-9 at Yarmouth in July and again found one too good at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) 28 days ago; this looks a good opportunity.

Runner-up in all five runs this year, at odds of 2-9, 11-10, 10-11 and 5-4 last four occasions; that's from just six races in total and she went down by just a neck over 1m2f on last two outings (on good to soft latest, unraced on worse) but she needs to find a bit extra on this handicap debut.

Runner-up in all four runs this year, beaten at odds of 2-9, 11-10 and 10-11 on last three occasions; stays 1m2f but slower than good ground would be a query; should give her running but vulnerable to improvers.

Well supported ahead of her Newcastle debut three weeks ago (85-rated stablemate of Bintalina's started odds-on), when shaping nicely after showing signs of inexperience; entitled to improve and holds obvious claims.

Last of six on her debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago but she's a half-sister to connections' AW winner Winterfair (RPR 80) and may well take a step forward switched to this surface for her powerful yard.

Won small-field Newcastle novice (1m2f, AW) last autumn but has mixed record in handicaps since; looks interesting on her second at Newcastle (12.3f) in November but she reappeared with a disappointing run at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm) in April; still lightly raced but she needs to step up again after that last run.

Pretty much all out to prevail in a small field at Newcastle (1m2f) and runner-up is now 0-6; however, showed a willing attitude and looks sure to improve with racing, especially over this longer trip.
