Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of her debut second (5f, good) to win at Carlisle in July (7f, good to soft), and she was third of five in a valuable novice at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; begins handicap life on a fair mark and could continue to improve for her top northern trainer.

Like so many of her stable's 2yos she's having a productive season, and she posted a personal best when making all in nursery at Ayr (7f, good to soft) in September; not many of these have shown better form and she should be just as effective back at 1m.

Two wins from her three nursery starts, the latest at Catterick (7f, soft) in July when coming clear with one who has franked the form since; did it cosily last time and could take a 7lb rise in her stride.

Two 7f wins last July, on AW and at Ayr (soft), but she went up 7lb for the latter success which seemed to put paid to her progress in handicaps; relatively exposed for a 3yo from this yard and likely needs to have done well over the winter to make a winning return.

Third in hot race at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and won at Newmarket (1m, good) next time; not beaten far in fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last time, despite interference, and that form is working out well; this improving 3yo can be in the mix if the forecast slow ground isn't an issue.

Form & Verdict
Has made the frame in novice/maiden races on her last three starts, most recently keeping on well for third when upped to 7f at Lingfield (AW); today's slow ground will provide a stiffer test of stamina and that may well be to her liking; not ruled out on nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to make all by half a length at Carlisle (6f, soft) ten days ago on her second nursery start, beating one who has posted wins either side; kept on well on that occasion and her dam was a 7f winner, both of which bode well for this step up in trip; respected under 6lb penalty.

Just one win from 12 attempts, but she hasn't been long with her current yard and she seemed unsuited by the drop back to 5f when a never-nearer fourth of eight at Catterick ten days ago; looks well handicapped and the return to 7f should be right up her street.
