Third on softer than good on her first two starts, before making most to show improved form when second of eight in novice at Ripon (6f, good); well worth a go at 7f and has a big chance on form.

Prominent in the market for two runs in early summer, both on slower ground than she'll be facing today, latterly behind a useful winner over C&D; goes on the shortlist.

3-1 favourite, never far away when third on last month's Redcar debut (6f, soft), simply unable to work out how to convert the chance; further progress likely and she's readily shortlisted once again.

Couldn't justify good support but still shaped nicely when under 3l second of nine over C&D (good; 5-4) 17 days ago, running green when first coming under pressure; should have learnt from that first experience and may go one better.
