C&D winner but she's on a long losing run and was beaten 9l on Goodwood reappearance (6f, good) 17 days ago; that was a Class 3 but she needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Two wins and latest near-miss all came over 6f on the AW and she was turned over at a short price the last time she ran over this trip; can race too freely, so may be okay back at 5f, but stall 8 means she has daylight on her outer.

Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better.

Front-runner who enjoyed a good spring, latterly off this mark back on turf; whether she'll be able to dominate over this easier 5f, with other pace nearby, is the question, and she'll need a career best to win.
