Got off the mark when winning at this venue (9.5f) in February off 3lb lower for today's jockey Donagh Murphy; pulled too hard to give her any chance at Newcastle (1m2f) last month and she will need to settle to get this extra distance.

Eight AW wins, including under Conor Whiteley at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in May and Newcastle (1m4f) in June; failed to prove her effectiveness on turf on latest start and the trip this short is a concern, but she has to be respected back on AW.
