Some promise on debut over 6f at the Curragh and built on that when fourth over this trip at Navan since; this is a drop in class and doesn't need to find much more to win.

She's improved with each of her three runs for this yard and did well to defy a tricky passage to win at Southwell (5f, AW) last month; based on that evidence a 6lb rise may well not stop her this afternoon, and the expected strong gallop will be a positive for this headstrong filly.
