Form & Verdict
Did not kick on after winning 7f Wolverhampton on last summer's debut for Marco Botti but her three 6f handicap runs during the winter were all very respectable and, following a £26,000gns sale, it will be interesting to see what Michael Appleby can do with her.

String of solid runs this year, aside from when not handling the Ripon undulations in May; again inclined to pull hard when beaten on the nod last time and is given a first go over 5f off the back of it (only 1lb higher); holds claims in an open handicap.

Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.

0-13 as a 2yo for Alice Haynes but 2-5 for new stable this year, the latter win gained by over 4l in 5f course handicap last month; flopped badly off her new mark at Wolverhampton ten days later but should be okay back at 6f and has possibilities if back on song.

Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this.

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Returned from break with respectable fourth of seven in 5f Southwell maiden this month and has now made the frame on the last four of her five starts; needs to build on that recent effort here but the return to 6f will suit; might be the answer.
