Got back on the scoresheet when beating Parikarma at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; disappointing in both subsequent runs but she's now only 2lb higher than for that last win and is a big player if she can bounce back.

Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; her last success was over two years ago but she's run some solid races over hurdles this summer and was only beaten 4l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last time; respected with visor reapplied.

Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises.

Form & Verdict
0-18 under rules but ran her usual solid race when third of ten at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago in a returning visor (retained); looks sure to give another good account but doesn't appeal for win purposes.

Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs.
