Came good at sixth attempt, when dictating small-field handicap from the front here (9.4f) on Friday; may not have things all her own way this time but is effectively only 4lb higher under her 6lb penalty and probably has more to offer.

2-4 since returning to the AW with cheekpieces fitted, her latest cosy success coming at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) on Saturday; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but there may still be more to come from her over the trip and she has run well on Tapeta; leading claims.
