Added to her Newcastle novice last autumn when landing a Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; held in third of four at Lingfield last time but that was a respectable effort in a tactical race and she should be in the mix again.

Similar run of juvenile form included a win in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last year and it was a first win since when taking Nottingham handicap (good to firm) over this trip three weeks ago; 3lb nudge but the runner-up has won since; firm contender.

On a handy mark on last year's form up to 8.6f and it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but she's been beaten a long way on both starts this season (1m4f/11.4f) and has something to prove.

Pulled hard on her comeback and bettered that when a clear second to an improver at Bath seven weeks ago; nudged up 2lb for that and this is stronger but she holds each-way claims.

Gained a first win in 7f Musselburgh maiden in November; not disgraced when ninth of 13 in 1m Newmarket handicap on her return last month, set a lot to do; should strip sharper here so not out of things.

Made all to land a three-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in June; collared inside the final furlong when trying to adopt the same tactics in another small field over the same C&D last month and it remains to be seen if she can dictate in this bigger field.

Switched to turf for last three starts and best of those when winning under Tom Kiely-Marshall over C&D (good to firm) on latest, albeit in a three-runner race; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field.

Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year.

Big step forward on handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham (1m, good) last month; set a steady pace when trying 1m2f at Goodwood (good) three weeks ago, resulting in a creditable fourth of seven but she clearly needs to build on that.

Ulysses filly who took a big step forward on her handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham (1m) last month; showed a good attitude there, so she's not taken lightly despite a 5lb weights rise.

Still a maiden (0-12) but has a stronger record on AW than on turf and is 12lb lower than last appearance in this sphere; possibilities, assuming the plausible resurgence materialises.

Ran okay on her first two starts this season and has dropped down the weights but she's struggled on her last three runs; major turnaround needed in a first-time hood (replacing the cheekpieces adopted last time).

Verdict

The trip is an unknown for most of these fillies but FILLE IMBASSEE is out of a winner at up to 2m and could be suited by stepping up in distance on her second start for this stable. Safe Harbor (second choice) showed ability in each of her three starts over 7f and is open to improvement in handicap company over this longer trip, while Kokoluna could also have more to offer.
