Her strike-rate on turf is nothing special but she's 2-6 on artificial surfaces and only just failed to overhaul the front-runner at Lingfield (6f) under Toby Moore on her latest AW start; another good run is likely.

Turned things around with a win at Wolverhampton last month and she followed up in a Ffos Las handicap (5f, good); couldn't quite get the job done in her hat-trick bid at Lingfield (6f, AW), but that was another big run and she's only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; shortlisted.

Returned to winning form in a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and followed up in a 0-65 handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but still respected in her current mood and the return to this trip is no problem.

Three handicap wins, including at Wolverhampton, for previous yard; 0-6 and hasn't shown the same form for current stable but latest effort (back here) wasn't devoid of promise as regards this drop to classified grade; possibilities.

Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade.
