Form & Verdict
High in the weights following three wins early in the year (goes up another 2lb from tomorrow) and has only gone beyond 5f a handful of times; showed an easy 6f is fine at Lingfield (AW) last autumn but the stiff 6f in this company will test her stamina.

Eleven-time winner including at Listed level; ran well on seasonal reappearance in the Listed Beverley Bullet but has failed to land a blow the last twice; 3-16 on the AW but could only manage sixth when 5-1 for this last year; needs to rediscover best.

Made all in this last year (good) and encouraging Listed third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago on her belated reappearance; won on soft ground at the start of her career; her usual visor returns (left off last time) and she has leading claims if building on her comeback run.

Has ducked both ways leaving the stalls and looked something of a slow learner, but she's progressed well and made it 2-2 on turf when nabbing Ananda over C&D three weeks ago; a further 4lb rise may well be manageable.

Ran some fine races in defeat at 6f-7f in stakes company last season for Ralph Beckett; back to winning ways on debut for this yard off 101 in a C&D handicap on seasonal reappearance in August; too keen stepped back up to 7f in a Doncaster Group 3 latest; capable of better if she settles.
