Form & Verdict
Some ability in seven starts on turf in Ireland; gave an immediate return for her new yard when beating 13 rivals in a first-time hood (retained) at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; 6lb higher, but likely there is still more to come; major player.

Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered.

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before.

Form & Verdict
Both wins on the AW including one over this trip on the Fibresand here; appears to have retained his ability since returning from nine months off in July as when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; subsequent wins from the first, fourth and seventh have given the form some substance and respected from 2lb higher.
