J: Oliver Stammers

Seven-race maiden; made quite promising seasonal debut when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) last month but raced too freely and was disappointing when upped to 1m at Haydock (good to soft) a fortnight ago; drops back to 7f with a point to prove.

J: Oliver Stammers

She ran okay when fourth of 11 behind a comfortable winner at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago on reappearance; however, this six-race maiden is starting to look exposed and she can be headstrong, which is a concern on this first crack at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Something of a contrast in her first four starts, though she has shown ability as when third of ten in first-time blinkers on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; dropping in trip may not be ideal but she is still a player in an uncompetitive event.

Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps have seen good progress since November, including scoring twice over 6f here; won again at Catterick (6f, good; made all) last month and good third of 14 at Doncaster (6f again) since; while best form has been at 6f, the speed he's shown in recent starts suggests he should be equally effective at 5f; likely to go well.
