Her first two runs (debut came when trained by Ed Walker) were respectable but she took a backwards step at Catterick (7f, good) in April; she has undergone wind surgery prior to this handicap debut; can do better.

Similar form in two runs, the latest her stable debut 13 days ago (6f, Tapeta); has 5.5l to make up on Got The Booty on that run so improvement is essential.

Slow starts have been a recurring theme since she moved into handicaps but she has hinted that her mark is in range; cheekpieces added and Eireann Cagney is booked, so there can be encouragement for an improved showing tonight.

Nine-race maiden; quiet start for new stable but there was a welcome return to form when third of eight over C&D last week, keeping on and finishing in front of Water Of Leith; 3lb lower today and Danny Tudhope a good booking for the yard (three wins and three seconds from 14 rides); contender.
