Seemingly boosted by headgear switch when very close second off today's mark at Chepstow (6f, good; first-time visor); not quite in the same form at Newbury (7f) since but still enters calculations.

Better for a hood when just missing out on her reappearance over C&D but failed to improve on that when fourth on her handicap debut at Lingfield; down a pound here with the hood discarded and it's still early days.

Maiden after nine races, seven of them over 6f; her two 5f races (on two of her last three starts) were modest shows, so she may well be of renewed interest back at this trip; ran respectably sole start on Polytrack and good second on Tapeta on penultimate start; drawn wide.

Got closer to the target on the drop to 6f when runner-up in a Salisbury handicap (good) and when well held here next time she was caught out wide for the most part; again hasn't dropped lucky with the draw, albeit in a smaller field.
