Form & Verdict
Came right away with a subsequent winner on her comeback last month and didn't need to improve on that to land the odds latest, again from the front; flashed her tail under pressure that day and will need a forward step now handicapping.

Progressive on turf last summer and she's improved again on AW this winter, winning at Southwell (1m) in December before a C&D third behind Shades Of Summer and Nine Tenths on New Year's Day; better off at the weights with both those fillies here; should make a bold bid.

Encouraging fourth on reappearance at Thirsk (7f, heavy) then went close at Catterick (7f, good to firm); disappointing favourite at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) seven days later but that run may have come too soon and it will be no surprise if she bounces back with a big effort here.

Lingfield win early in the year has been well advertised since and she improved again on her recent turf/handicap debut, when slowly away and inclined to pull hard; holds leading claims down in trip and with Harry Davies (11-37 for the yard) knocking off 3lb.

Choicely bred daughter of Dubawi who didn't run again after winning 6f handicaps on the Newmarket July course (good ground; unraced on softer) last summer, always prominent; this is a stiffer task but she retains untapped potential and her stable could hardly be in better form; might be the answer.

Responded well to positive rides for both wins at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack), but only fourth of seven in her hat-trick bid over this C&D last month and well held back on turf at Catterick (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; cheekpieces given a go on this return to the AW and claims if bouncing back.

Form & Verdict
Three costly defeats late last summer but got it together on her Tapeta comeback, when ridden more patiently upped to this trip in a first-time hood; always the danger she'll pull hard again from the outside stall but she's open to improvement if amenable.
