Form & Verdict

Modest form in three maiden/novice events but she's making her handicap debut at a low level and she's bred to do much better at some point; Rossa Ryan booked and she's one to consider.

Beat just the one home on her C&D debut but signs of inexperience were very evident and this drier surface could make a difference; still looks best watched with a view to handicaps later on.

Nottingham latest wasn't the first time she's stayed on over 6f as if tonight's trip might suit, and the pedigree offers further encouragement in that regard; fair mark now judged on form of autumn's maiden third here.

Didn't run badly on her stable debut at Salisbury last month without quite matching her best efforts for William Haggas; the return of headgear (new cheekpieces) can help though and she's one for the shortlist.

Twice runner-up over 1m on soft ground in May, but proved faster conditions were no problem when off the mark here (1m, good to firm) last time; only 1lb higher and his penultimate fourth over C&D suggests he does stay this far; may still have more to offer.
