Showed some ability at Southwell this winter on her first two starts (7f/6f, AW) but not enough to suggest she's the one to be on today.
Eight-race maiden who was down the field at Musselburgh (7f, good) 18 days ago but that may have come too soon, just two days after her close fourth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, good); stays 7f and might not be far away.
0-4 for Harry Charlton; changed hands twice since, for 6,000gns on December 1 and 1,000gns on December 11; her best form reads well in today's context and she's not ruled out on her stable debut.
Unraced dam from a good Cheveley Park family but didn't make the track for them and bought for 2,500gns last December; 9-1 when winning on this month's debut at Southwell (7f, AW), doing well to come from further behind than the other principals in a slowly run race; respected under 7lb penalty.
Placed on first two starts in the winter and improved form when close third on recent turf debut at Nottingham (6f, good); she wasn't stopping at the line last time and there's every chance she'll stay 7f; key player.
Kept on for second on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) last October, beaten about 5l at 12-1, then reportedly lost her action when well beaten there (6f) at 25-1; she's unexposed and it's possible 7f will suit, but others have more substance to their claims.
Second foal; dam 6f/7f maiden (RPR 60), sister to 5f/6f Group 3 winner Judicial, half-sister to Nunthorpe winner Marsha, out of 5f 2yo Listed winner from family of top miler Soviet Song; no surprise to see a big run on debut.
