Form & Verdict
Went backwards for Eve Johnson Houghton last year before missing 11 months; doubtful she achieved much when second of three to an easy, short-priced winner at Thirsk recently (7f) but she's entitled to have come on for that.

Appears to have a good chance on these terms, but she is proving more consistent than progressive and could only manage fourth of eight when sent off 4-7 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month (two heads behind Mystic Music); should again run her race, but far from solid.

Promising debut third at Yarmouth (7f) for previous trainer and can't be entirely blamed for later defeats that year; two fair efforts for new yard, finding only a well-supported newcomer too good at Ripon (1m, good to firm) recently; looks competitive under Billy Loughnane, who's 1-4 for the yard.

Form & Verdict
Trainer, who boasts a good record with 3yos here down the seasons, won this 12 months ago; this filly is the pick on form but another expensive defeat last time leaves her with something to prove and she'll need to settle better than has often been the case, back up in trip minus the hood.

Shaped well in both starts as a 2yo, including when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in October; found Listed race too much at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance and did too much too soon when second of three in a novice at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) three weeks ago; wore hood and cheekpieces last time, with the latter now removed; the one to beat now dropped back in trip.

Shaped well on both runs as a 2yo, third in 1m Yarmouth maiden in October; found the step up to Listed level too much on her return when fifth of six at Newbury (1m2f), but this daughter of Frankel remains with plenty of potential; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Didn't go on for Joseph O'Brien after a promising debut last summer for Jim Bolger (changed hands for 140,000gns) and was sold for just 2,500gns this month; had little chance for her new yard in a Listed race ten days ago; vulnerable.

Five unsuccessful starts for Joseph O'Brien, finishing second in a couple of 2yo maidens; changed hands for 2,500gns this month and she would be a surprise winner on her stable debut, for which a hood is applied.
