Form & Verdict
Dropping back in trip when inching out today's rival Rhubarb (now 2lb better off) over C&D last month; ran well in a slightly higher grade (Class 5) subsequently and possibly didn't get home reverting to 6f last time; likely to be there or thereabouts.

Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field.

Progressing nicely, recording her three best RPR's since sent handicapping; made all to beat today's rivals Rhubarb (now 4lb better off) and Coronation Cottage (now 7lb better off) over C&D penultimate, before bettering that in defeat next time; her speed is a real asset and these conditions suit.

Capable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted.

Proficient over C&D (21832) and has also won here over 6f; wasn't overly productive last season, although did go well when runner-up from a 5lb higher mark at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in August; may well strip fitter for Bath seasonal reappearance.
