Found an ordinary turf maiden and Tapeta novice for her two wins last summer and had her limitations exposed in handicap company latterly (2lb higher) having been very easy to back; needs to have improved for the winter break.

In need of the experience on debut but she has left that form behind her with wins at Ayr and Newcastle on her last two starts; slower ground to contend with on her handicap debut but she's capable of better and her opening mark looks fair.

Her three seconds (from five starts) make her the clear pick on form, including from 7f/1m on Polytrack; however, she's been a beaten favourite on last four outings and ran poorly when 4-9 at Ayr (6f, good) in August on latest; tried in cheekpieces that day and now has blinkers.
