Third to Beautiful Diamond over 5.5f here (soft) in September on her final run for Mark Usher; low-key start for Ralph Beckett but she bounced back to form at York (6f, good) eight days ago, blowing the start but making a big mid-race move before weakening into fourth close home; shaped like the best horse in that race and perhaps has a stronger chance than her rating might indicate.

More than just not handling the track was amiss when she was last on her recent return at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); however, this lightly raced 4yo showed improved form when tackling soft ground at Ayr last September, finishing third in that 5.5f Listed race; not discounted back on slow ground.
