Made a promising debut here on good ground in October and built on that when winning comfortably at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) next time; disappointing at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) 196 days ago, weakening late after racing freely, but she may settle better over this shorter trip; interesting on her handicap debut.

Ran well over slightly shorter here on debut last May; easy to back and no immediate success story in handicaps for new yard but this longer trip could be worth another go; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

No improvement for the switch to handicaps when seventh of eight at Wolverhampton 15 days ago, her first start for George Boughey; has worn cheekpieces and a tongue tie independently and now wears them together for the first time.

Lost her way since cheekpieces went on, again finishing comfortably held here last Monday back from a couple of months off; some way down the pecking order.

Ridden by Finlay Bassett on last nine starts; went close in a classified event over C&D in March but she's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Southwell when last seen in July; down the list.

Ridden by Finlay Bassett on last eight outings; sole win from 17 starts came on her handicap debut at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) in December; runner-up on three of her next four starts, including here, but not so good in recent races and needs to perk up again.

17-race maiden; nearly caused 100-1 shock in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January but recent form has been underwhelming and she's untested on ground slower than good to soft.

Placed a couple of times in handicaps here (1m/1m2f) earlier in year after the cheekpieces went on, but the novelty seemed to wear off and she is now 0-16; steps back up in trip but hard to fancy.
