Two of her four wins have come over this C&D, partnered by Jack Doughty when running down Coconut Bay in a Class 6 classified (10-1) last March; lacked the pace to figure when sixth (Gundogan fifth; 13-8 favourite) over this trip at Lingfield latest.

Just midfield in all four handicaps but she made some late headway at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) on her reappearance in June; this step back up in trip looks a good move and she could be potent if she gets some luck; yard won a division of this race last year.

0-16 and not the most consistent but she has been placed in two of her three starts over C&D, while a repeat of her second of 11 in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month would give her a good chance.

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-14 but the drop back to 1m paid off when she scored at Chepstow (soft) in June and she probably did too much too soon when returned to 1m2f last time; could bounce back again and she's not ruled out back at this trip.
