It was a solid handicap debut when third at Lingfield (7f) in July and she was off the mark when up to this trip and scoring on the July course last month; didn't get the breaks over latter C&D (again good to firm) when third nine days later; same mark and it's very likely she has a bigger effort in her.

Gradual improvement across her five starts culminated with a handicap win over C&D (good to firm) under Alfie Redman last Thursday; now 4lb higher but it's highly likely we've yet to see the best of her; key contender.

Can miss the break and has a patchy profile; bounced back with a close second over C&D (good to firm) last month but she hung left when fourth of six here (7f, good to firm) last time; hood is now added on this step back up in trip but she comes with risks attached.

Rallied well in first-time visor dropped back to 1m at Sandown (good to firm) last week, opening his account at the seventh attempt; incurs 6lb penalty but Toby Moore takes off 7lb; may build on that win and improve further; respected in the retained headgear.

J: Luke Catton

Has won two of his last three and he raced too freely in the defeat; ridden more prominently when winning by a little under 3l at Haydock (1m, good; 6lb lower) last time and he needs a close look, for all that this is a stronger race.
