Form & Verdict
Achieved little across her three starts towards end of last year but she's from a respected Lambourn yard and goes handicapping off a basement mark; no surprise if she takes a big step forward, especially if well backed.

2-2 since switched to handicaps this season, with both wins gained over 7f on fast ground; raised just 1lb for latter success and the form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; hard to beat if stamina holds out over this new trip.

Showed little in three AW novices last back-end but much improved when making a winning turf/handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May; she should be able to cope with a 5lb rise and looks the one to beat.

Took a step forward when sent off favourite and runner-up on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) last Monday; runs off the same mark today and he's a major player if transferring his improvement back to better ground.

Came good with wins at Beverley (8.4f) and Thirsk (1m, again on good to firm) last month and had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Southwell (suffered interference) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher than for his last success and he could kick on again back on turf.

Has improved this year, recording back-to-back wins at Beverley and Thirsk (around 1m; making all) this month, the latter in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should give it a good go on AW debut if taking to the surface.

Low-mileage filly who made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May and may not have been suited by the soft ground when sixth (behind Nicely Curved) in this grade here (1m) in June; might be the answer.

Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut.
