Went close in a bumper on her debut last spring before not taking to hurdles; well held in three Flat runs this season but this task is more realistic now handicapping and she's one to track in the market.

All six wins on turf have been on good to firm, the most recent coming at Chepstow last July; narrowly denied at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July but below best following a habitual slow start at Windsor two weeks ago; still considered.

Held up; hat-trick last summer and twice runner-up from five starts this term, short-headed off this mark under Owen Lewis at Ffos Las (1m4f; 33-1) on latest; although not that consistent himself, he looks a lot more solid than most of today's rivals, not least because he's won three times here.

Immediate uplift for the switch to 1m2f classifieds, going close at Lingfield before an easy win at Ffos Las two days ago (good); likely stayer of further than that in this sphere as a former bumper winner, and mark looks no worse than fair; chance if this race doesn't come too soon.
