1-18 strike-rate and down the field at York last Saturday (6f, good; reportedly never travelling); however, prior to that she was a close third on reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and a good case can be made on that form; effective on good to soft; could bounce back with big run.

Form & Verdict
Won a 6f maiden on Tapeta last November and she made a winning return at Windsor in August (5f); sent off favourite for a 5f Listed race later that month but found it a step too far and she was again well held in Listed company at Newcastle five weeks ago (tongue tied for the first time); now tackles 7f and handicap company for the first time.
