Completed a 6f hat-trick on fast turf this summer (all in fillies' handicaps); ran well against males in her bid for a four-timer at Leicester in August but her form dipped on slower ground five weeks ago (Class 3); unlikely she's handicapped out of things but her stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.
