Kept on well to win Class 4 Goodwood handicap (good ground) when upped to this trip in June and has remained in good form since, but may have been flattered by her proximity when fourth of six in tactical Listed race at Chester (14.3f, good) in August and needs a bigger run here.

Creditable second in two of her three starts this year; filled the same position (off 2lb higher) in this race 12 months ago; solid chance, for all that she has a poor strike-rate.

Her wins after breaks of three months and four months are a positive as she returns from a layoff; resumes on a career-high mark, though, having closed out last year with a second on Tapeta, and she'll need to be spot on to win this; may be the one to lead.

The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track.

Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap.
