Front-runner who goes well on Tapeta; tacky ground was put forward as an excuse for latest effort, as favourite round Chester, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark in a big field containing other pace.

Won in first-time blinkers for William Haggas at Newcastle (6f) in January but she's not come close to that form in seven subsequent runs for two different yards; now 3lb lower than for her win but overall record is 1-13 and others are preferred; headgear removed.

Displayed improvement to win in first-time blinkers for William Haggas at Newcastle (6f) in January but subsequent 6f/7f form for two different stables has been disappointing (latest run was her first in a visor); drops to 5f with quite a bit to prove.
