Off the mark at the 12th attempt in a similar event at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) at the start of the month and put up an even better effort when beaten less than a length into second of 11 in a 0-55 handicap here (7f) eight days ago; strong claims.

Consistent since joining this yard, getting up in the final strides in 6f Kempton classified race eight days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (revised mark 2lb lower) but it's possible she'll kick on now she's got her head in front; return to 7f should suit, too.
