Good third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in July and now 5lb lower; however, she finished down the field on her final two runs for the Fell/Murray yard and it was the same story on her recent stable debut; now 0-17 and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers (replacing a hood).

0-16 for her former stable but she has plenty of placed form, including over C&D; this represents a drop in class and her new yard (same owner) try her in a hood; one to consider.
