J: Kyle McHugh

Won two nurseries at Beverley over 7.5f last August (both on good to firm) but she struggled in a competitive sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September when last seen; returns off a mark 8lb higher than for that latest success but she can't be dismissed back in a handicap.

Steadily progressive, too strong for Supreme Dancer and Harswell River when winning over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; does not look overburdened by a 5lb rise and should go well again.

Not beaten far in a 7f seller at Chester in June, the only time she has gone around a left-hand bend, but she has been well beaten in two nurseries since, including when tried in a hood at Beverley 16 days ago; dropping down the weights but not a solid option.
