Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls.

Some good efforts in defeat in 7f turf handicaps last summer but successfully returned to sprints this year, winning at Bath (5f, good) and 6f (good to firm) on this track; perhaps good to soft ground counted against her last time but needs more off her current mark back at 7f.

Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear.

The fitting of cheekpieces saw her get off the mark for the season at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July; finished second in two of her four runs since, including when blinkers (retained) were given a go at Brighton 19 days ago; tongue-tie now enlisted.

Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more.

Returned to turf with two decent efforts (both 7f, good) this spring, and his keeping-on fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month was perfectly respectable; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still considered each-way.
