Form & Verdict
Kodiac filly out of a German 1m1f Listed winner; made a promising debut when third at Ripon (5f, good) in August and she took a major step forward when making virtually all over C&D last month; sets the standard under a penalty for that clearcut success and she's open to more progress; big player.

Dual 6f AW novice winner who was competing in just her third handicap when posting a career best for second at Southwell (6f, AW) off this mark four weeks ago; needs to carry that progress back to turf but she's unexposed and likely capable of better again.

Made most for two 6f novice wins on Chelmsford AW as 2yo; respectable rather than dynamic efforts as 3yo, including in a 6f Newmarket handicap last time behind a wide-margin winner who had no pretensions to being way ahead of her mark; needs improvement for step up to 7f.

Ran green at Chepstow (5f) in August but she left that form behind when an eyecatching fourth from wide draw over C&D last month; that was behind Lady Kodiac but she has a swing in the weights in this rematch and could be dangerous if she can find more progress.
