Palace Pier filly who more than hinted at promise in 2 outings for David Menuisier in 2025. Spared a hard race from a poor draw when down the field in a 1m course maiden on reappearance and retains potential for handicaps.
|
Fair maiden. Two placed efforts in headgear since switching to handicaps but others in this line-up boast more progressive profiles.
|
Much improved switched to handicaps this season, finishing runner-up 3 times over 1m. Bred to be suited by this step up to 1¼m. Likely to be on the premises again.
|
Has offered something to work on his 3 qualifying runs over 1m and is likely to benefit from the move up to 1¼m now handicapping.
|
Fair form. Best effort when third of 7 on 11f Southwell handicap debut 16 days ago but the reopposing Extraterrestrial was 1¼ lengths ahead in second.
|
Matched her form from last year when fourth of 9 on handicap debut/reappearance at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft, 12/1) 37 days ago but she was beaten 6½ lengths so needs more to make a significant impact from this mark.
|
Placed in maiden/novices over 1m this spring but never involved (missed break) on 1m Windsor handicap debut 11 days ago. Up in trip.
|
Improved when second of 9 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1¼m, good to firm) 21 days ago. Pulled well clear of the rest so a 2 lb nudge looks lenient with further progress likely.
|
Has shown modest form in 3 starts but he's bred to be useful and yard does well with its handicap debutants. Potential improver.
|
Dead-heated on his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m) in January and took another step forward when a convincing winner over 9.5f at Wolverhampton 3 months later, looking well suited by the longer trip. Player if as effective on turf.
|
Off the mark at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Has had excuses for some of his defeats since but ran poorly back on turf at Doncaster latest, with the reopposing Madjid well ahead in second.
|
Off the mark at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) last September. Stepped up on that form when second of 5 on 1m Southwell reappearance 20 days ago. Up in trip. Can make presence felt.
|
Debut fourth in 7f maiden at Sandown last July but has failed to kick on, finishing last of 11 in 1m Bath handicap on reappearance. The step up in trip should suit on breeding but has a fair bit to prove at present.
|
Down the field on all 3 starts. Handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance but others are still preferred.

Armstrong (3/1), Kakirra (7/2), Three Socks On (9/2), Madjid (9/2), Brighton View (10/1), Kalokalo (10/1), Glenna (10/1), Flash Kozo (11/1), Extraterrestrial (11/1), Tough Date (18/1), La Peregrina (20/1), Rossa Raheen (22/1), Grand Pier (33/1), Virtue Chastity (33/1), Dijon Gone (40/1), Berkshire Schmokin (50/1)
MADJID pulled well clear of the remainder when second on his Doncaster handicap debut, suggesting that a 2 lb nudge may be lenient, particularly as he looks capable of better. Three Socks On is 2-2 in all-weather handicaps and could be a threat if as effective on turf. Kalokalo, Armstrong and the hat-trick seeking Kakirra are others to consider.
