Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.
