Form & Verdict
2-2 at Newcastle, recording wide-margin handicap wins over 1m in November and this trip in the trial in January; the form of the latest win is unconvincing, however, and she had been beaten by Bridget's View at Southwell on her penultimate start; has to be respected but this will require another step forward.

Four wins on AW, latest in a valuable Newcastle handicap; needs to prove herself on turf; her single attempt (at Goodwood a year ago) was too bad to be true; has beaten Irish-trained handicappers on her last two starts; faces opposition of a much higher standard now.

Game effort to win a Newmarket handicap (6f, good to firm) last July and she is now 4lb lower; bounced back from some modest efforts when just missing out in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth 19 days ago (good ground; cheekpieces first time), pulling clear with a mare who has since run well in a Group 3; might not have to work too hard to get the stands' rail and she looks to hold strong claims.
