Form & Verdict
Took advantage of an easing mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in May; demonstrated her versatility when following up at Lingfield (5f, soft) seven days later; unable to dominate when fourth of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) subsequently but dangerous here if allowed an easy lead.

Has won three sprint handicaps on turf this season but she's come up short in small-field events at Ripon and Yarmouth in last two starts; still unexposed on AW but she needs to find more back in this sphere.

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.

Narrowly won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October and has performed with credit in four handicaps on good to firm ground since returning in May, the last three for this yard; return to a soft surface not a problem and should again go well for triple-handed stable.

Won over C&D (good) in May and perhaps the return to Ripon will be a positive; however, she's been unplaced on her three starts since, most recently fourth to Zoustar Dreams at Nottingham, and she needs something extra.
