Form & Verdict
Ran green on her York debut (6f, good) in October, but more like it when third of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) the following month; has shown plenty of speed in both starts so the drop to 5f should suit; off four months but still respected.

Best form when winning 5f Southwell AW maiden in March for Karl Burke; has not run to her mark in handicaps at Ffos Las and back at Southwell in two runs for this yard and likely needs more weight off her back.

Landed a maiden over C&D in March for Karl Burke but well below par both subsequent runs in 5f handicaps, only sixth of eight for her new yard at Ffos Las two weeks ago; has something to prove.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Ran in these colours for Karl Burke and was progressing when winning her AW maiden; her handicap debut back at Southwell was underwhelming given she went off favourite; probably better than that.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability when in the frame in two Chelmsford novices (6f, Polytrack) and a Haydock maiden (6f, good) in the autumn; respected on form after five months off, though not sure about the return to 5f.

Not yet off the mark and was vulnerable in her early handicaps but she made a good fist of it when third on the wing over C&D (good to firm) in July; not so good here since but that was her third run in two weeks and will perhaps be all the better for more of a break this time.

No excuses off her revised mark since a Nottingham win off 4lb lower (well drawn at Lingfield; some way below that level at Bath latest); completely exposed now.

Opened account in big field at Nottingham (6f, good) in April and posted another good effort when second of 13 at Lingfield (6f, good) ten days ago; back in action before 1lb rise takes effect; likely contender.

Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating 14 rivals at Nottingham (6f, good) last month (two of these behind), but didn't seem suited by the drop to 5f when fourth of nine there (good) 17 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and a major player back up in trip.

She has a useful pedigree (raced once for Al Shaqab) and she has a basement opening mark; however, she has shown very little and a transformation is needed in a first-time visor.
