Form & Verdict
Second at Kempton (1m, AW) in November and Salisbury (1m2f, good; beaten a head by 4.40 runner Truthful) in May; failed to build on that promise at Chelmsford (AW) in another novice event but no shock if she's a lot more interesting this time on handicap debut.

Settled far better in the debuted hood (retained) when 1l third in a Chepstow handicap latest (good); any repeat of that day's slow start shouldn't go punished as much upped 4f to a trip she should readily stay, and effectiveness on Tapeta was proven last winter; no excuses today.

Twice beaten as favourite last autumn and was well below market expectations on her seasonal/handicap debut recently; she pulled hard over 1m2f, however, and this drop back in trip in a first-time hood ought to help; still has a bit of potential.
