She has only run to a modest level in her three starts but she did fare a bit better than the bare result at Catterick when last seen in April; makes her handicap debut at a low level and could yet fare better; has been slowly away on last two starts.

Generally reliable 5yo who got back on the scoresheet over C&D in July and she didn't get much luck in a classified event at Catterick (sixth of 13) last time; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected back on AW.

Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark.
