Form & Verdict
Ended three-race 2yo campaign with 1m AW win in December and was close second when upped to 1m2f for this month's seasonal/handicap/turf debut at Salisbury (good to firm); has obvious scope to build upon that performance here and benefits from Ashley Lewis' useful 5lb claim; good chance.

Two wins, the latest at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) in July despite clipping heels and stumbling; might not have been seen to best effect when fifth of nine at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month and may be worth another chance.

Back to form with a bang when running away with a similar race at Salisbury (1m, good) last week, pulling 12l clear of the runner-up; 6lb ahead of her revised mark under a penalty; obvious chance but there is a strong suspicion last week's race rather fell apart.

She has struggled to recapture her 3yo best this term, latterly beaten 7l in a 1m2f Sandown handicap she won readily last year; today's drop back in trip and new cheekpieces could help, however, and this is probably her easiest task for a while; can't be ruled out from a dangerous mark.

Often highly tried last year; generally consistent in handicaps this season, off a sliding mark, but finding the right trip seems to be an issue, with her going up from 1m to 1m2f last time, and now dropping to 6f; blinkers are given a second try.
