After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect.

Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.

Mid-division on good ground on all three starts, showing fair form on last two; the latest was a 1m Newbury maiden, for which he started 66-1, and this handicap debut over 1m2f (dam 1m4f winner) should offer a much more realistic chance; yard has made a slow start to the season.
