Form & Verdict
Lightly-raced ex-Irish filly proved well suited by stepping up in trip when readily getting off the mark in 1m2f handicap here 12 days ago; hiked up 8lb but another bold showing is on the cards on her first go at 1m4f.

Not at the top of her game this season but she's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks ago; creditable third of four at Hamilton on Thursday; three wins here include one at this trip and she warrants a good look.
