Form & Verdict
Posted an improved effort when getting off the mark at the sixth attempt at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 18 days ago, beating a subsequent winner; a 4lb rise looks fair and he's open to further progress, albeit he does have his stamina to prove for this longer trip.

Stepped up considerably on previous efforts when second of ten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) four weeks ago; a couple of those behind have won since and she remains unexposed, but she has gone up 3lb and not sure the return to a sharper test will suit.

Turned things around after wind surgery with a comfortable win in a classified event at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago; has to concede weight all round this time but her confidence should be boosted after that win and she's strongly respected back up in trip.

Ex-Irish filly who has been in good form since stepping up in trip, winning at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) before following up at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; up 3lb for that latest success but she leaves the impression this trip will suit and could well complete the hat-trick.

Much improved to win by 10l at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) and she was a clear second when 4lb well in back there nine days ago; new mark has kicked in but 1m6f might suit; would have questions to answer if conditions went on the soft side of good.

Went to a whole new level when drawing 10l clear over C&D (good) eight days ago, her third win of the year; that race developed into a stamina test and the form is treated with a degree of caution but, nevertheless, she commands respect under a 6lb penalty.
