Form & Verdict
Hindered by wide trip last time and is perhaps better judged on her creditable second at Wolverhampton earlier in September; record is 0-9 but she has possibilities if taking well to first-time hood.

Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good.

3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark.

Progressive gelding who has won four of his last eight starts and was a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip.

Justified favouritism at Southwell most recently, making it three wins from his last four starts and taking strike-rate since November to 5-11; has a particularly good record at Wolverhampton in that period; progressing well with age and warrants respect off bottom weight upped further in class.
