Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced 5yo; showed some promise in AW novice events late last year, with her best effort a 2l fifth at Southwell (1m); returns after six months off but she has stamina on dam's side and needs checking in market upped to 1m4f on handicap debut.
