Successful in a maiden and handicap this summer, the latter over C&D on penultimate start; not disgraced at Sandown latest; proving a consistent filly and warrants respect back here.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has solid record this season and she made it 2-5 in handicaps when battling well at Lingfield (1m, good to firm) last time; 4lb higher in this deeper race but she's a likeable filly who still has scope for further progress; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
0-5, all in novice races, but she kept on for fourth at Doncaster (7f, good) two starts ago and lost all chance when hampered at Chester (7f, good) last time; she's shaped as though the step back up to 1m could be a good move and she's firmly in calculations on handicap debut.

Four-race maiden who resumed her progress when a 2l fourth of 12 in a Doncaster novice (7f, good; cheekpieces added) last month; was only around 2l behind Dream Vega in that race and she should have more to offer for top yard; in the mix.

Dropped out in sole AW start in June, when having trip and fitness excuses; in better form in turf handicaps since (first-time cheekpieces latest) and three siblings recorded useful efforts on the AW so has to be of interest on this surface.

Yet to score but after an inauspicious handicap debut/reappearance over 1m2f last month she was back in form with fairly close third of six at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; should be okay back at 7f and can't be ruled out.

Ready winner on debut at Ayr last August (7f) and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts to be runner-up in first handicap this June (8.3f, Hamilton); second crack at 1m2f when beaten 6l into third at the scene of her win latest; that trip may want revisiting at some stage but she makes some appeal over 1m here.

Cheekpieces added to tongue-tie when making the frame in deeper contest over the extended mile at Beverley last time, dropped in from widest draw before unable to sustain a promising run once negotiating traffic problems; should be able to adopt a better track position this time.

A fair ex-Irish 9.5f winner; yet to score for her current yard and she weakened last 1f when fifth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Hamilton in May; drops back in trip now with cheekpieces added and she's not out of things.
