Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the sixth attempt in Thirsk classified (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up in handicap over this C&D (good to firm); had nearly 2l to spare last time and a 6lb rise may not stop this unexposed 4yo, provided she handles conditions (unproven on slow ground).

In fine form last summer, culminating in her Portland win off a 2lb higher mark; slow to come to hand this year but much better dropped back to Class 4 company on her last two starts; this is tougher than the fillies' handicap in which she finished second last week but she is a major player all the same.

Progressed well once handicapping as a 4yo and kicked on again last season, landing a hat-trick in late summer, latterly here off 2lb higher; not at her best in the spring but this is her time of year and she offered more latest; respected.
