Both her wins have come at Windsor in midsummer; she made an encouraging seasonal return when second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Southwell two weeks ago but another step forward will be required to trouble the principals today.

Beat her five rivals to make all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; didn't run badly on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and could improve for that run; this race is more competitive than she's used to but she's not ruled out each-way.

Campaigned exclusively at longer trips but the way she shaped on the other track here last time (7f) suggests she's worth a go over 6f; sole start on the July course resulted in a win off this mark; interesting.
