Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who gained her breakthrough success (in a change of headgear) in 1m2f Leicester handicap in August; creditable third at Yarmouth (1m2f again) two months later; the fact she's failed to finish in the first three in nine attempts on AW is a bit of a concern, though.

All four wins have come at Brighton but she went very close to a first AW success (at the 19th attempt) over C&D last Friday; pulled 3l clear of the remainder so looks well treated off the same mark (due to go up 2lb) if a wide stall isn't too big an inconvenience.
