Form & Verdict
Both wins on turf but she handles AW and this season's three runs can all be upgraded to some degree; second in a better race at Chelmsford on Sunday when positive tactics were deployed and this track lends itself better to her usual hold-up tactics; one to take seriously.

C&D win for Jane Chapple-Hyam in January; blinkers were left off for his stable debut here last month and he made it 2-2 at the track with a cosy success; 3lb higher but still low mileage and needs serious consideration.
