May not have achieved much when fourth of ten at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) last month, but her record here reads 2212; still has stamina to prove, but interesting down another 2lb in the returning cheekpieces.

First runner in Lemos De Souza's name; best form at Chelmsford and her second there last October off a 140-day break was a fine effort; bitterly disappointing elsewhere since and tries another new track this afternoon; more severe headgear is reached for (blinkers replace cheekpieces).
