When a wide-margin Listed race winner at Doncaster it was against her own sex and very few in that eight-runner race appeared to handle the deteriorating conditions; went off 50-1 for the Albert Bartlett and performed accordingly; 3-6 over hurdles and she's a contender with her sights lowered.

Wouldn't be without hope judged on her near-miss at this level at Haydock in December (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and doubt she was seen to best effect when scraping home at Fontwell (2m1f); behind a couple of these at Warwick (2m3f) but heavy ground might not have suited (withdrawn previously on account of those conditions) and she also lost a shoe.
