Hooded for Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) last July where she raced with her head on one side virtually throughout but showed spunk to force a dead-heat; off since and it's hard to judge the merit of that muddling race but the new trip shouldn't be a problem; can give it a good shot.
Out of a 1m Listed winner who was runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas; signs of ability in a valuable Haydock event on debut (6f, good; 5-1) in September, albeit just running on at one pace in the closing stages; lacks a recent run but no surprise if she does better over 7f.
Modest form in two juvenile runs over 6f (good and heavy) but she went off shortish prices each time and her 3yo career could be more fruitful, especially over a trip that should suit; market can guide on comeback.
No impact at Haydock in October but she looked more of a prospect on Southwell AW (7f) last month when doing some steady late work; might find this test on the sharp side but another step forward is possible.
160,000euros yearling; pedigree is a mixture of stamina and speed; unraced as 2yo but she kept up the chase against a previous winner, at Pontefract (6f, good; 7-2) last week, and looks likely to benefit from the experience and the extra furlong; good claims.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
