Form & Verdict
Went close in a classified at Ripon (1m2f, good) before doubling her tally with a comfortable success in handicap at Southwell (1m, AW) a week ago; this stiff finish over 1m2f is a question mark but she holds obvious claims under a penalty.

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last month and her next start at Hamilton (1m, good) can be forgiven (saw no daylight); had no obvious excuse back at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time, though, and others are more persuasive.
