Form & Verdict
Sole turf run was on good to firm; bang there in tight finishes on all three starts as 2yo, winning a 7f maiden on Southwell AW in October; good, keeping-on fourth of eight on handicap/seasonal debut there (1m) gives some hope for this trip if she goes on the ground.

Touched off at Windsor (1m2f, soft) last October on final run for Chris Wall, her only race in cheekpieces; narrowly justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) on reappearance and she looks a consistent sort who shouldn't be far away.

Lightly raced since winning a Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) over a year ago; finished a well-held fifth of seven on her Ascot return (1m2f, soft) last month, but apart from possibly needing the run she may also have found the trip stretching her in the ground (backed up by her pedigree); better is likely.

Runner-up at Yarmouth (good to firm) last August on the first of two turf starts, the other a modest show on good; two wins and two seconds from her four AW races this January-March, looking to have more in the tank last time (Newcastle 1m) so she needs a look despite some uncertainty regarding this longer trip as well as the surface.
