Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when third at Leicester last time but she finished well and that was an eye-catching effort; still unexposed as a sprint handicapper and has claims if she gets a good pace to aim at.

Benefitted from the return to sprinting when popping up in a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago; that effort is backed up by the Topspeed figure and she is a key player despite a 4lb rise.

Made the breakthrough, justifying favouritism at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; while she has responded to the removal of the hood, this represents a step back up the ladder (Class 5) from a 4lb higher mark; her task isn't an insurmountable one, though.

Progressive since these cheekpieces went on, winning two in a row (6f/5f, good to firm/soft) before fading into fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm), and she appreciated the return to 5f when winning at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last time; did it nicely and a 5lb rise may not stop her.
