9-1, shaped well when second on 7f Lingfield (AW) debut in April; that form isn't anything special but she's from a top stable and is open to improvement, while this stiffer test should also suit based on breeding.

Plenty of speed on the dam's side, being the first foal of a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner, but sire New Approach is more of a stamina influence; fitting of headgear for debut is always a little offputting but he'd still enter the reckoning if the market suggests he's fancied.

Promising third on debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last November and, although she failed to build on that on turf this autumn, she was a close fourth back on AW in a Lingfield handicap (1m2f, Polytrack) last month in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); that form gives her a leading shout today.

Finished third in her first three starts over 1m-8.6f on turf/AW, but well beaten on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) last time (well behind Assembled); needs to turn things around, but is now tongue-tied while her pedigree suggests the longer trip should be in her favour.

Third in a 7f Haydock race which has thrown up winners, on debut, and time may show he bumped into a useful one at Kempton (7f again) since, with the pair nicely enough clear of the rest; hasn't necessarily been shaping as if crying out for 1m but he's bang there on form.
