Form & Verdict
Two AW wins (7f) this year and she ran as well as she ever has when second of ten in a handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 19 days ago; having a rare 6f run but she isn't short of speed and her usual hood is now discarded; one to take seriously.

Both wins at 5f on Southwell AW; has had some excuses this year but she put up a good show at Leicester (6f, good to firm) this month against an unexposed sprinter and this easier test at 6f can suit; should go well.

Gained her breakthrough when dropped to 6f (from 8.3f) at Newmarket (good to firm) in June and ran at least as well when running-on third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month; slightly disappointing on latest outing but still considered on this move back up to 7f.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when third at Leicester last time but she finished well and that was an eye-catching effort; still unexposed as a sprint handicapper and has claims if she gets a good pace to aim at.

Lightly raced 4yo who hasn't progressed since making a promising start to her career last year; however, there have been hints that this first crack at 1m will suit, when keeping on for fifth at both Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January and Leicester (6f, good to firm) this month; not discounted.
