Has plenty of ability for one of her rating and everything fell into place at Doncaster in June (7f, good to firm); placed on her last two starts and she may settle better back at 6f; one of the likelier ones.

Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.
