Campaigned mostly over 5f; successful three times for previous yard and beaten only half a length in both starts for new stable, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is perhaps worth exploring; in-form filly who warrants respect.

Unraced on AW but she acts on most ground on turf and both siblings won on artificial surfaces; had some useful 5f form for Mick Appleby last summer but she can give herself plenty to do and may also need to improve to win off a highish mark.

Can race freely and didn't repeat the promise of her 6f debut at Brighton back there next time; finished remote after upset in stalls since but handicaps always likely to be the main aim; fair to expect better today.
