T: James Evans

Just four starts here but she won and was placed twice for previous yards; has regressed in recent times but may have needed her latest run, when back from wind surgery; it's been a year since she showed anything but maybe the return to this venue can perk her up.

On a long losing sequence and she has yet to fire for her new yard this season, tried in cheekpieces when ninth of 11 at Windsor (1m) in June; needs subsequent wind surgery to spark major progress.
