10-1, stayed on for promising third on debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) last September; not seen since and on that evidence today's drop to 5f isn't an obvious plus, but she's a half-sister to two fairly useful 5f winners and could be sharper this time.

Has done her racing since handicapping over 5f and hasn't struggled for toe; whether this stiff 6f will be too much of a test for her, switched from cheekpieces to blinkers, is a question but she's starting to look exposed anyway.
