Consistent filly who deserved her 6f maiden victory here in August (first-time tongue-tie); only fourth on the drop back to 5f here 19 days ago (behind Overnight Oats) and tonight's wider draw is not ideal.

Held her form well as a 2yo, signing off for George Boughey with her best effort and a win at Wolverhampton (5f); a 4lb rise does not look insurmountable but she's been off five months and changed stables since.
