Easily her best run was the middle one here and definite claims on that form

Had a near miss here but then hung both ways when disappointing over Kempton's 1m

There appeared no excuses when just behind Moreginplease at Lingfield on Wednesday

Much better last time and he did well to make the frame after starting slowly
5 (7)	Compton Bay Chestnut J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	129	—	40373	59	70	49	9d	—	—	-1	9.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Patiently ridden when third off 1lb higher last week; has a race in him off this mark
4 (8)	China Trade Grey J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	J:Richard Kingscote T:Charlie Johnston	131	—	549	61	66	-	17d	—	—	-3	5.1	2.75/1	12 8%
Initial efforts (6f/7f) were encouraging with a view to this sort of mark
10 (4)	Aspire To Glory Bay J:Darragh Keenan T:Alice Haynes	J:Darragh Keenan T:Alice Haynes	124	t	08865	54	68	44	57d	—	—	-5	3.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ordinary efforts so far, including in two nurseries, the latest in a tongue-tie
7 (5)	Montecristo Gold Bay J:Ross Coakley T:Tom Clover	J:Ross Coakley T:Tom Clover	128	b	7064	58	71	-	19d	—	—	-4	4.2	2.50/1	11 9%
Modest so far, including a nursery; blinkers are now turned to

1m too far the other day and has placed form in nurseries over 6f and 7f
9 (6)	Blenheim Star Bay J:Harry Davies T:William Knight	J:Harry Davies T:William Knight	125	—	440	55	70	43	28d	—	—	-2	2.5	4.75/1	20 5%
Outclassed latest; first two runs weren't bad and this initial mark might be okay
