Won the Listed 2yo event on this card 12 months ago (5f, good) and posted a last-gasp win off top weight in a competitive handicap at York (5f, good to firm) last month; today's trip could be a good fit and she's a strong candidate if handling the ground (unraced on a slow surface).

It wasn't a strong Windsor novice she won on her debut in April (5f, good) but she overcame inexperience to score with ease; subsequent absence raises slight concerns but she's well drawn and can make a bold bid to defy her penalty.

Unable to justify favouritism on Brighton nursery debut over an extended 5f at the beginning of this month but by no means disgraced in third and her market strength suggests she's thought capable of better; tended to lug to her left under pressure on that occasion and this more conventional track may suit better; enters the reckoning.
