Form & Verdict
Continues to start slowly but she was ahead when it mattered over C&D 12 days ago to earn just a 2lb rise (under Ethan Jones); no question that she can deal with that if breaking on terms.

Progressive filly whose record since contesting AW handicaps reads 411211, her latest win a game success from the front at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days ago; seems to do only just enough so another 3lb rise may well not be enough to stop her.
