Got within a nose of making a winning debut (at 12-1) over C&D this month but the odds-on favourite/winner was seemingly hanging fire in the closing stages; still, that was highly encouraging and she's considered.

Two minor honours over about 1m last October, before battling her way to a novice win at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; the latter form has taken some knocks and improvement is needed on this handicap debut, but her pedigree (dam won the Oaks) reinforces the already strong impression that 1m3f+ will suit.

Promising debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last October; beaten even-money favourite at Newcastle later that month but still ran a creditable race; out of an Oaks winner so stepping up in trip looks a good move; improvement is essential all the same.

Took a big step forward to win well at Newcastle (1m, AW) in the second of her two autumn starts; however, she's the only runner who isn't entered in the Oaks and, as her bare form backs up, perhaps brings the least ability and/or potential.
