Form & Verdict
Two wins on AW towards end of last year (1m2f/1m4f, AW) and she's had a break since a lesser run in January; drops back in trip and needs to prove she's effective on turf, but she hasn't had much racing and is not ruled out.

C&D winner last November and there have been five wins elsewhere since, the latest in June; backward steps on heavy going on last two outings, particularly at Ayr latest with first-time cheekpieces (which are retained) but she's surged back to form before.

12 races this year and she had been consistent and progressive before not giving herself a chance at York (behind Pendella) by racing with the choke out; admirably versatile trip-wise (from 7f to 1m4f) and goes on all ground; if back to her best then wouldn't be far away.

3yo who has been highly progressive and has continued the good work on her last two starts, with a 3l handicap second to Silver Lake at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) being followed by a Listed near-miss at Clairefontaine (1m4f, good to soft); there's every chance that she'll be bang there.
