After making all she just held on to land a 1m2f maiden handicap at Pontefract (good to firm) in May but could then finish only fourth over that same trip at Nottingham; that might be as good as she is.

0-19 since her debut win three years ago and she's finished tailed off over this trip in her last four runs; mark has bottomed out now and she has lots to prove in new headgear.

Won her novice over 1m at Kempton and, despite a stout pedigree, she didn't appear to get home over Lingfield's 1m4f the last time; down 3lb for that and might have a say.

Has a record of 4-8 over fences and ran well on most recent attempt in this sphere (poor effort over hurdles since); on a career-high mark but she's the only course winner in this field and 2-3 at Kempton to boot.

Reverted to fences with a hard-fought success at Stratford (2m1f, good) and perhaps found good to firm too lively when tailed off back there 28 days ago; can be hard to predict but she's capable of a big run.
