    Form & Verdict
    Bettered her debut effort when runner-up to subsequent Listed-placed Sacred Ground at Yarmouth (1m, good) last October but she was disappointing on her reappearance at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago, dropping away after racing too freely; that may have taken the freshness out of her but she needs to settle better on her first try over 1m2f.

    T: Ralph Beckett

    Nottingham novice winner who chased home a progressive filly on her handicap debut (also 1m2f, good to firm) in July; solid efforts on her next two starts, including when she looked like this drop back in trip will help last time; considered.

    T: Ralph Beckett

    Won Nottingham novice (1m2f, good to firm) in June on fourth start and she's since been a clear second to unexposed handicap newcomers in two small-field contests (1m2f, good to firm; subsequent winner Silver Lake on the first occasion); she may yet have a bigger performance in her.

    J: Rhys Clutterbuck

    T: Ralph Beckett

    Has taken a while to get the hang of things, but improved form last two starts, winning novice in small field at Nottingham and pulling clear with the winner when second in handicap at Salisbury (both 1m2f, good to firm); tactically versatile and looks the one to beat.
