Two wins as a 2yo, including C&D; slightly disappointing on her seasonal and handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month but it's possible the return to turf will see her in a better light.

Made all the running at Thirsk last summer and had the toe to make most in Listed company next time (both 5f); soft ground may not have been optimal when last seen six months ago and she's drawn to attack on her handicap/AW debut; player.

Made it 2-3 when winning Thirsk novice (5f, good to firm) last month before close Listed fifth at Newbury (5f, good) seven days later, when she made the running; unraced on slow ground; her trainer is in tremendous form and she might not be far away.

Wide-margin winner of a Lingfield novice (about 7f, good) last August but she's been on much the same mark, with little reward, since handicapping and a recent second at Newmarket was a remote one; needs weight off back.

Early promise but she's started to tread water; latest fifth over C&D (good to soft; Come On Over second) wasn't a bad effort, though, when things didn't really go her way; not entirely ruled out with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm) before encouraging third at Carlisle (6f, soft), and she took another step forward when second at Newcastle (7f, AW); on that latest evidence this return to 6f isn't an obvious positive, but she has strong form claims and has to be respected.
