Form & Verdict
Recorded her third win when scoring in smooth style here (1m4f) last month and she had an excuse back on soft ground at Catterick last time; goes into unknown territory at this new trip but she still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form and could be a big factor if her stamina holds out.
