Eight seconds but just one win; tends to hang left but draw one off the rail and going left-handed may combat that trait; joint-best RPR three and four runs ago but needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts.

Sprung a 40-1 surprise over 5f at Chelmsford last summer and she's now rated 3lb lower; that is a result of some poor form since though and she has enough to prove from the widest stall.
