It's a long time since this 16-race maiden posed a threat but she didn't run badly in a handicap at Ayr (5f, good) on Monday and might not be far away in this very weak race.

Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend.
