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.

Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now.

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.
