Form & Verdict
4yo who has won four of her 12 starts and was beaten just a neck over 1m4f here (good to firm) last month; the step back up in trip poses a question, as does the forecast slow ground, but she's not ruled out.

Her second win last year came over C&D (good to soft); career-best form when second at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on reappearance, meeting trouble in running, but she could not lay a glove on the principals when returned to 1m4f at Ripon (good) three weeks later; return to 1m6f will presumably help and might offset good ground if it dries out; one to consider.
