Reappeared with a near miss on her stable debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and she built on that with a dominant display at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last week; raised her form to a new level with that 5l win and she's 5lb well in under a penalty; should be hard to catch back on AW.

The most recent of her two wins came in a handicap at Sandown (5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) last September when trained by Lemos De Souza; posted some good efforts for Charlie Wallis this year and was narrowly denied on her stable debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; steps up in grade but has to be considered.

Form & Verdict
Made all for an easy win at Kempton (6f) last month when blinkers were added for the first time; two solid efforts (again over 6f) behind a thriving rival have followed; creeping up the weights and dropping in trip but still more appealing than many.

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when runner-up five consecutive times (once here) over 6f in September-January, and last month's 5f fourth at Chelmsford came in a slightly better race than this; worth persisting with over this trip.
