Got off the mark under rules at the 13th attempt at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; 4lb rise isn't harsh and she should be competitive.

Dual AW winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; good first run in cheekpieces when second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) but never got involved the last time (2m6f); perhaps a fast-run race back at this distance will benefit her.
