Good record in AW sprints and she recorded a personal best with a front-running win at Yarmouth three weeks ago (6f, good to firm; well backed); 3lb rise to deal with but she's back against her own sex and can't be ignored.

Unraced on softer than good; won four of her seven handicaps, the latest win in good style under Millie Wonnacott at Newbury in July; easily her worst display in those races, however, came off this 8lb higher mark at Windsor (again 1m2f on good to firm) on her only start since, when reportedly fractious in the preliminaries; needs to bounce back with another improved show.
