Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning at Thirsk (1m4f, good) in May off 5lb lower, then seemed stretched by 1m6f on soft at Nottingham; ran well when close second of three at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last night and she will have to be respected if running today.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a Class 5 handicap at Thirsk last month (1m4f, good), travelling strongly but taking a while to pick up before seeing her race out well; up 5lb but she's bred to be smart and this additional distance looks a big plus; strong contender.

Newmarket maiden winner on her sole start last term for whom there were high hopes this year; proved underwhelming when favourite for an Oaks trial at Newbury on her reappearance and was tried in blinkers when tailed off in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot; now tries cheekpieces on her handicap debut and it's too soon to write her off.

Won at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September on sole 2yo start; well-beaten fourth of six on comeback in Listed race at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month; she still looked a work in progress last time and her best days lie ahead, but a sizeable step forward is needed in first-time blinkers.
