Form & Verdict
Record is only 1-12; well treated on best efforts but is starting to go the wrong way and ran to nowhere near her rating in 5f seller most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time cheekpieces.

Capitalised on a reduced mark to finally post her first handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; had just a neck to spare but this 3yo has gone back up only 2lb; respected.

Won a Beverley maiden on her second start but 0-12 since; more realistically handicapped again now and she ran a sound race at Pontefract (6f, good; cheekpieces first time) last month; soft ground excuses latest lesser effort; not discounted down into a 0-70.

Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear.

A hood has helped in recent starts, winning at Newcastle (6f) in March and running creditably in turf handicaps (6f/5f, both good ground) twice last month; needs more to come out on top here.

Haydock novice (6f, good) winner who made pleasing handicap debut when third of 12 at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September; finished last on final two starts of last year but reappearance fifth of 13 at Ripon (6f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) wasn't a bad effort three weeks ago; now needs to build on that.

Thrice-raced filly who most recently prevailed in Southwell maiden (6f; kept to AW) on seasonal debut; pedigree suggests she should do better still and prove as effective on turf; respected handicap debutante.

Reappeared with a smooth win in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April but she was only sixth of eight on handicap/turf debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; still unexposed but that was disappointing last time and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark.

2-3 in 2yo campaign (6f, AW/good) but a long way below that level on her four starts this year (5f-7f); the step up in trip needs to prompt a dramatic turnaround.
