Form & Verdict
Enhanced her record in handicaps at the track to 1711 when burrowing up the far rail to win a 5f handicap here ten days ago; 2lb rise not beyond her and she should be fine over 6f (previous efforts came early in her career); major player.

Stayed 7f well in Ireland but she had no problem with the drop to 6f over C&D last week on yard debut when negotiating a wide draw and having plenty of ground to make up for a narrow but cosy win; questionable whether she's well in under a penalty but has potential.

Second of six on handicap debut at Salisbury last month (6f, heavy); warm favourite at Newcastle 24 days ago on the strength of that effort but she raced too freely over 7f and ended up well beaten; too soon to write her off.

0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence.
