Matched her previous form returned to maiden company when fourth in an 8-runner event at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Hadn't been seen to best effect when filling the same position on her handicap bow at Windsor the previous month and isn't fully discounted from 2 lb lower mark.

Improved when making a winning start for this yard at Hamilton (8.3f) in June. Shaped as if still in top form when a close third at Carlisle (9f, soft, 8/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces now go on and she's highly respected with extra emphasis on stamina sure to suit.

Progressed from debut when landing a 13-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/1) on her second start and took another step forward when third on her handicap debut at Kempton (11f) 37 days ago, nearest at the finish in steadily-run contest. That race is working out well and she's highly respected.

Yet to better her debut form and hasn't landed a telling blow in 2 handicap starts, left on the back foot after a tardy start at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 28/1) 20 days ago. Others preferred.

Remains a maiden but arrives in good form, showing up well once more when second of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Keen-going nature slightly tempers enthusiasm stepping up in trip but isn't fully discounted.

Back to form after a pair of disappointing efforts when second of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb but no reason why she can't be in the mix again.

15/2
From the family of the top-class middle-distance filly Taghrooda but seemed to fail to stay when third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good) 13 days ago. Drops back here and it's still early days in handicaps, so isn't ruled out.

Made more impact than previously with hood reapplied when runner-up in a 6-runner maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 30 days ago. Opening mark looks workable and she's not ruled out.

Showed a bit more than previously stepping up in trip when fifth Leicester novice on qualifying run but proved easy to back and made a low-key start in handicaps when fourth of 5 at Haydock (11.6f, good) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Umbria (1/1), Alvesta (7/2), Questionable (15/2), Muqinah (15/2), Rose Branch (11/1), Bayadere (18/1), Guendolen (20/1), Sweet Sister (25/1), Little Miss India (33/1), Seamore (33/1), Autumn's Breeze (50/1)

Verdict

UMBRIA shaped even better than the bare result when third in a Kempton contest that has already proven strong form and she is just given the nod over Rose Branch, who again looked at the top of her game when going close at Carlisle. Handicap newcomer Guendolen completes the shortlist.
