Improved on entering nurseries, finishing 1l third at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July and then getting off the mark here (6f, good to soft) a month later; testing ground, combined with 6f trip, was a possible excuse when last at Thirsk latest; drops 1lb and no surprise if he gets back on track.

Has improved for the switch to nursery level, finishing third at Pontefract then winning at Catterick, both over 6f on good to soft; could well have more to offer in handicaps and warrants respect. |

Showed minor promise on her first three starts and improved slightly for her nursery debut (6f, soft) when stepped up to 7f (good) back at Thirsk latest; both a 3lb rise and drop back in trip give her questions to answer.

11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Didn't achieve much in her first three starts (5f) and took a good while to find her stride before running on late into third on handicap debut here (6f, soft; 40-1) a fortnight ago; it's possible that she was slightly flattered, but tackling this extra furlong is seemingly a smart move. |

Market drifter when 33-1 and off the mark comfortably at the sixth attempt in a Southwell nursery (5f) on her AW debut last Thursday; needs further progress to defy a 6lb penalty but that is possible.

Improved for her debut when 2l fourth in a fillies' novice event at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; raced freely and well beaten at Newcastle (6f, AW) latest; worth a try over the minimum trip on her nursery debut and may be able to improve now entering this sphere.

Best efforts so far have been on turf but no reason why she shouldn't be fully effective on this surface and Hollie Doyle again rides; however, she'll have to improve to win this. |

Not without a bit of promise in first two starts, finishing sixth of nine on her debut over C&D last month and clear of the rest when fourth of eight at Carlisle (good to firm) 18 days ago; may be one for nurseries after this, though. |

Has shown more on her last two starts (both here) but initial mark looks stiff enough based on those efforts; enters nurseries needing improvement to break her duck.

Belated first win and a head second in the past 12 days were gained over sharp 5f on softer than good; the refusal to settle cost her last time but she could atone here, while 4lb well in and down slightly in grade; sole run on Tapeta (C&D novice; dwelt) was inconclusive. |
