Too early to pigeonhole her as a mudlark but her form did take off when faced with soft and heavy going last autumn, winning at Ayr and Nottingham (both around 1m); only sixth on good ground when last seen; likely she has more to offer this year but perhaps when underfoot conditions are more demanding.
