Form & Verdict
Had become disappointing but she was having her first run on Tapeta when returning to form over C&D a fortnight ago, finishing runner-up at 25-1; in the mix if backing up that latest performance.

Has been handicapping since August and shown her best form over 5f on this track, just losing out in October and making all last month; not as convincing over 6f so far, however.

Returned to form when going close on Tapeta debut over 5f here last month and went one better here (5f) last week when making all; unproven at 6f but she wasn't stopping the last twice and is respected under a 6lb penalty.

Much lower in the weights than when making the frame in her first three starts last year, but that's for a good reason with her form in four outings for this yard since last November decidedly moderate; look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up at Catterick (5f, turf) in August on her first start; two lesser runs have followed over 6f on Tapeta (here and at Wolverhampton) but she could be on a good mark if tapping back into her debut promise now tackling a nursery; interesting to see how she goes in the betting.
