Scored off 1lb higher on her reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW; stays 7f) in April but her last two runs contained little encouragement; handicapping case to be made but she needs a revival.

Unconventional tracks look to be her thing as she made the breakthrough in a Brighton maiden (6f) last June and signed off for Andrew Balding with a win over C&D (good to soft; beat Silver Trumpet) just under a year ago; last three starts have all come over C&D and she'll need to step up on those, but she's dipped below her winning mark.
