Second over C&D in January when well fancied to improve on her moderate 1m nursery form; reportedly got upset in the stalls when out of the money here in February, no apparent excuse last time; confidence dented by that run, but worth a market check.

Dual course winner over 6f/7f last year (beat Queen Leila and Iryna's Star in January); curbed by increase in rating last twice on AW, finishing sixth both occasions; underwhelming run on turf 15 days ago but soft ground an obvious excuse; steps up in trip and can be thereabouts.
