Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her.

Has the best pedigree in this field and she's 4-13 having won four 7f turf handicaps this year; better than ever when third last month and when below par at Epsom it was her first run on ground slower than good; has yet to prove herself on the AW but only had two attempts.

0-10 but she has snippets of form that give her a squeak; last week's fifth of seven at Catterick wasn't as bad a run as the distance beaten suggests (hampered at a crucial stage) and she's not out of it.
