Form & Verdict
Progress on third start (7f, Tapeta) and she took another step forward when running on well to win a 1m nursery at Kempton three weeks ago; hit with a 4lb rise but the subsequent wins of the third, fourth and fifth give the form some serious ballast; could well have more to offer.

Appeared to show more, in terms of RPR at least, at Wolverhampton three weeks ago (6f); he was never going the pace in a steadily run affair there though and he will need to show much more upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces; gelded since last seen.

Scored over 1m2f here last month, his second start for Lemos De Souza; subsequent third of five behind Cospicua at Kempton (1m4f) was respectable, and he kept on well for second behind Wicksey here (1m2f; first-time blinkers) on Wednesday; the most exposed runner in the field but a likely contender nevertheless.

Beaten favourite in the 7.5f nursery on this card last year, but better than a record of 1-23 might imply and she remains 4lb below her winning mark; likely goaded into overracing last time over a 1m2f trip she's still quite new to, and return to about 1m for now may do no harm.

Stamina for 1m2f wasn't assured at Redcar, a course that suits her, eight days ago but she was fine and meets Baldosa (third) and Diamond Aura (fourth) on the same terms; below-par favourite here in the spring, which would be a slight worry.
