0-5 and her followers got their fingers burnt when she was a beaten favourite, albeit running well on the figures, over C&D last month; however, there should be more to come from her.

Better since fitted with a hood, placed over 8.5f here (fillies' maiden) on penultimate start, and ran to a similar level on handicap debut at Doncaster (fifth; 1m2f) latest; pedigree suggests that she'll handle this extra yardage; chance.

Form & Verdict
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this.

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback.

Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive.

Half-sister to four winners for the stable, notably Pyledriver (7f-1m4f including AW/Group 1; RPR 125); well-held fourth of nine on recent Kempton debut (1m4f, AW) but that was behind some useful rivals and she should know more this time; in the mix.
