Won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last October on third start and followed up on handicap/seasonal debut here (8.5f, good) in April; kept on strongly for 1l third in Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; she has plenty to find on form but the step up in trip could prompt further improvement and she might not be a forlorn hope each-way.

Proved well treated off a mark of 80 at Epsom (8.5f, good) on handicap/seasonal debut, following up her autumn win (7f, AW); goes into deeper waters but is improving and her pedigree bodes well, with one of her siblings a Listed-placed filly (stayed 1m2f) for her connections.

Form & Verdict
Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.

Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers.

Said to have run flat at Chester before over-racing and not seeing out 1m4f last time; it's likely this mark is within range but she had plenty of racing last year and has again this term, and she's vulnerable to improvers now.

3yo who was runner-up at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April then went one better Salisbury (good) on her first crack at 1m2f; disappointing at Chester seven days later but that run may have come too soon; stayed on well at Salisbury and could be suited by the step up to 1m4f; in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark on her eighth start as a juvenile when landing Nottingham nursery (good, made all) over this trip in October; not disgraced in Listed company next time but weakened over 1m2f (good to soft) on her reappearance one month ago; might do better back at this distance with the run behind her.

Looked a little flattered when sneaking up the near-side rail to score at Lingfield (good to firm) in May but she more than matched that with very creditable fifth of six in Epsom Listed event (again 7f, good to soft) next time; never threatened in similar event at Carlisle a fortnight ago, however, which tempers confidence on this return to handicaps.

She's had plenty of racing but has shown improvement on her last two runs, easily winning Class 4 handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) before fifth of sixth to Ellusive Butterfly (who is now penalised) in Epsom Listed race (7f, good to soft), beaten about 4l; on the up and has each-way claims.

Won well at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) most recently but that was only a handicap off a mark of 70 and everything panned out perfectly for her; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class.

Overcame a wide stall when springing 28-1 surprise at Kempton in September and kept unbeaten record when defying a penalty on his return at Southwell (also 1m, AW) five weeks ago; will likely be going up in trip soon enough but brings plenty of potential to this turf/handicap debut.

Won his first two starts (1m novices on AW) but he's yet to kick on in turf handicaps, initially when fourth of six here (8.5f) in April then fifth of ten at Chester (10.5f) the following month; one of his siblings was a dual 1m4f winner for this yard so maybe the new trip will help.

Made most to win 1m novices on AW at Kempton in September and Southwell in March; that perfect start was followed by a lesser front-running effort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on turf/handicap debut but he looks bred for 1m2f.

Gelded ahead of his AW debut when readily landing Lingfield maiden (7f) on last month's return; will probably need more on this switch back to turf/handicap debut but it's still early days and he warrants consideration.

Took a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on his comeback in March but bombed out when strong in the market on his handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) next time; finished 12th of 14 at York a fortnight ago and has a point to prove now.
