Form & Verdict
Runner-up four times for Karl Burke (including in three bumpers, one on good to soft) but lost her form with that yard and, following a 400-day absence, there's been no sign of regaining it this year; had wind surgery after latest start and returns to turf for first time since her bumper days, so if she returned to form there would be clear reasons.

Showed the benefit of a wind operation when winning a classified event at Windsor (1m4f, good to soft) last month and backed that up with a good second behind an in-form rival at Ayr (1m5f, soft); acts on the AW and she makes the shortlist on this return to handicap company.

Form & Verdict
No worthwhile form (like stablemate Clough) as 2yo in two runs over 7f and one at 6f; there's a very different trip for this reappearance at a much lower level and there seems to be stacks of stamina on the dam's side, so she needs a second look in first-time headgear.

Her fifth of 13 in Windsor classified (11.5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) was a first hint of ability six weeks ago but that hasn't been built on in two starts over 1m4f this month; does have an Ascot Gold Cup winner in her pedigree so might not be a forlorn hope upped to 2m.
