0-21 (Flat/hurdles) but went close over 1m after missing the break at Kempton in March; didn't get home having failed to settle over 1m2f at Bath (firm) 20 days ago but should be happier over this shorter trip; tongue-tie returns and she won't mind any rain (runner-up in both starts on ground slower than good to soft)

Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut in 14-runner maiden at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) last month and looks open to progress; the penalty is partly offset by Billy Loughnane's very useful 3lb claim; major player.

The winner of three of four races, all at 6f, with the wins on good to firm, soft and good to soft; this is more demanding up 7lb but she was strong at the finish at Hamilton last time and today's extra yardage should suit on pedigree; may not have reached her ceiling just yet.
