Won her maiden here last summer (7f) and this is the easiest race she's run in since handicapping; two poor efforts last month will need completely overlooking however.

Form & Verdict
Went close on handicap debut in September; odds-on but still improved on fifth start to win Lingfield novice (6f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January; didn't back that up when down the field in classy affair over that C&D one month later but return to turf should be no problem.

Promise as a 2yo and made short work of four rivals in a C&D novice on last month's return to action (blinkered first time); 4lb rise for that means he is 7lb higher than when second in a C&D nursery last September (only handicap run); improvement required but conditions clearly suit him well.

0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.

Promise on her second start for Anthony Carson, finishing second of seven at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); easy to back and finished well beaten in a 1m maiden at Lingfield on stable debut six weeks ago; needs a market check dropping in trip for her handicap/turf debut.

Confirmed promise of her Chelmsford debut (7f) last September by finishing second in a 6f maiden back at Chelmsford one month later; sold for 10,000gns since; form is up there with the best of that on show but she has to prove her stamina and there are some intriguing newcomers in opposition.
