Out of the frame in last season's qualifying runs (all over 7f) but there were positives to take from her first two and the booking of William Buick heightens interest now handicapping; considered.

J: Adam Farragher

T: Ed Dunlop

Has not kicked on from her winning seasonal/handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May, but looked suited by the drop back in trip when fourth over that C&D this month and has possibilities here if the first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Remote third on heavy ground over C&D in April and left that form well behind under a positive ride at Doncaster (6f, soft); different conditions to deal with this time but unlikely that the return to further will hinder her and she could be on a handy mark.

Yet to win a handicap but she had a near miss over C&D on last month's seasonal return; drawn wider than the other principals when fourth of 11 at Windsor 25 days ago; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f handicap at Kempton (AW) in February off 6lb lower; had every chance before carrying her head awkwardly when third of 15 at Doncaster a month ago and perhaps didn't enjoy the soft ground; this mark is not beyond her.
