Ultra-consistent in handicaps, aside from her turf efforts, and showed the right attitude back in cheekpieces when narrowly beating Study Up over C&D two weeks ago; both will find this a bit tougher but she has claims upped 3lb.

Both wins have come on Tapeta at Wolverhampton, the latest on her reappearance (9.5f) in April when trained by Kevin Frost; probably didn't stay on stable debut there (1m4f) four weeks ago but still has enough to prove, especially from the outside stall.
