Form & Verdict
Hasn't looked straightforward but clear promise in her three runs in novice and maiden company, recording her best RPR when beaten a head on debut (6f, good to firm); slower ground to contend with but she makes her nursery debut at a suitable level.

Promise in novice/maiden company but she is yet to kick on in handicaps, including when only eighth over C&D on her reappearance five weeks ago; another 3lb lower today and cheekpieces are given a go; others look safer.

All runs over 6f; built on her eyecatching first run at Windsor with a narrow win at Southwell; it was always going to be tough in a sales race last time and she ran okay from a modest draw; Rossa Ryan booked for nursery debut; slower than good would be a query.

The penny started to drop rather late on Newbury debut but she was ridden more prominently and found the most when winning at Windsor (also 6f) in July; out of a Polytrack winner (1m2f) so the surface switch needn't be a big deal but the drop in trip might be.

Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable.
