OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick when dead-heating in classified event over C&D last month; no impact back in a handicap last week but she missed the break and things didn't go her way against a pace bias; remains well treated on old form and has claims if things go more to plan this time.

0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling.

Often a front-runner whose five wins have all come over 6f on the AW; went close off 2lb higher at Lingfield in December but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; regular headgear is now removed and others are preferred.

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before.
