It's been a struggle since beating a very good yardstick at Cork in May (5f, good); has dropped back to a tempting mark and new headgear could give her a lift.

Went up 7lb for beating Kendall Roy by a length over C&D in May and her new mark is beginning to look an issue after subsequent defeats, for all that one of those was at Royal Ascot.
