Form & Verdict
Six-time winner on Polytrack, four of them here, the latest of which was over this trip from 3lb lower last March; may have got there sooner than ideal with the usual blinkers removed when beaten two necks into third of nine at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) last time; cheekpieces now given a go and very much a player under Ryan Moore if this pans out better.

She made giant strides in quick time in the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster; disappointed at Haydock in May and again after five months off at Newmarket (1m4f, heavy); could resume her progress back on AW but she does now have a point to prove.

All of her five handicaps have been over longer trips; won two in a row this spring at Lingfield (2m, AW) and completed the hat-trick on turf debut at Doncaster (2m, soft; four ran); disappointing on good to firm in May and her chance is presumably boosted by a return to testing ground on this first run since; interesting to see her market strength, as she's one to consider.

All three wins have come over 2m on Polytrack (including one here), but her best effort since returning from a lengthy absence in September was when beaten a neck by Pablo Prince over 1m4f here last month; didn't back it up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) next time, but the return to a longer trip should suit and she isn't dismissed.
