Broadly progressive record on turf for current yard features good-ground wins at Chester (7.5f) and Pontefract (1m) last June; may still have more to offer and remains of interest, despite an absence since July; market confidence would cement her claims.

Turned things around after break when scoring over C&D last month and she followed up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days later; held in hat-trick bid at Pontefract last week but she travelled for a long way and found more progress with that creditable second; only 1lb higher here and she's strongly respected back at this track.
