Darley EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Ran with some encouragement on her sole start, finishing fourth beaten around 8 lengths in a novice at Ripon, and with today's distance and going both familiar, she looks capable of taking a forward step second time out.

Two starts have brought similar outcomes without threatening, her most recent outing at Ripon leaving the impression she is running to a limited level; a substantial improvement is required, though the trainer carries a strong record at this course.

Handled the step into handicap company well on her most recent start, going down by only 3 lengths at Nottingham off a mark of 80, and today's mile should suit a filly proven on a sound surface.

Beaten 6 lengths on debut at Haydock, unable to match the early tempo in a novice, but a pedigree that points to at least a mile and a top jockey aboard suggest she is capable of improvement; the trainer is in a lean spell of late.

Her debut effort has since been given a strong endorsement at a higher level, and today's drop back to a mile looks sensible for a filly proven on this going; a tongue-tie applied for the first time adds an element of the unknown.
