Sole win came in novice at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in November and she ran well on her handicap debut at Newcastle (AW) next time; strong in the market on her stable debut at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time hood) 13 days ago but proved disappointing; steps back up in trip and it will be interesting to see if her supporters return.

Inclined to pull hard in two runs in handicaps early in the year for Michael Wigham and no surprise to see a hood on for her new yard as she returns to turf and drops from 1m; this mark should be within range if more amenable back from four months off.

Had shown promise prior to justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton in November (8.6f); second of six at Newcastle on last month's stable debut, racing too freely in a steadily run affair; not fully exposed.

Lightly raced 4yo who justified favouritism in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) seven weeks ago, leading inside the final 1f; doesn't look thrown in for handicap debut but she's unexposed and needs taking seriously.

Four-race maiden but she has twice run to a useful level, including when third at Yarmouth in October (1m, good; beaten over 6l but the winner looks smart and the second, who was only one length in front, has since won easily); should make another bold bid.
