Sole defeat in her last four races came at the hands of a progressive horse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); shrugged aside that minor blip with a workmanlike win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); 3lb rise isn't the end of the world.

Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle.

Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers.
