Often a front-runner who has won three times this year, including a narrow success at Chester (7.6f, good) 12 days ago where she was unable to lead; only 1lb higher and should make her presence felt.

Productive 2022 campaign included five wins (7f-8.5f, turf/AW); close second in fillies' handicap at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie applied) on New Year's Day; leading player off same mark (likely to go up in weights once reassessed).

Form & Verdict
Usually a front-runner, but her sole success in 12 starts came when stalking the pace in a maiden handicap at Carlisle (7f good to firm) earlier this month; probably should have followed up when narrowly beaten at Musselburgh (7f, good) nine days ago after hanging badly, which would be a concern on this track; still much respected from the same mark (due a 2lb rise).

0-8 but placed five times over 6f/7f, going down by a length or less on four occasions; never really threatened when fourth of seven at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last time and needs to find more if she is to break her duck.

Strike-rate is only 1-14 but she's a consistent 3yo filly who could well double her tally at some stage; not beaten far when joint-favourite for a C&D event three starts ago; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Latest narrow success came in a first-time visor at Salisbury (1m, good) last month (won the same race the previous year), but she isn't very consistent and didn't back it up in the same headgear at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; opposed from 3lb out of the weights.

Scored in a first-time visor at Salisbury (1m, good) last June but she's been disappointing since and was tailed off here when last seen in October; headgear is now removed and she has plenty to prove back up in trip after another break.

Form & Verdict
Made it fifth-time lucky when making all in a Beverley maiden (7f, good to firm) last month, but she enjoyed the run of the race there and failed to back it up with a poor effort under her penalty back in handicap company at Kempton (7f, AW) eight days later; enough to prove.

Made all in a maiden at Beverley last June and she's also effective on Tapeta; however, she hasn't gone on from her summer win and needs to find something extra now back from a break in first-time headgear.
