Form & Verdict
Rattled off a hat-trick over 5f and 5.5f in July before narrowly failing to register the four-timer at Doncaster (6f); she has held her form since, including a good third upped to 7f at York a fortnight ago and a near miss at Windsor on Thursday (6f, good); should go well again.

No reason why she won't prove fully effective on turf in time but as things stand she has been unplaced in all three runs on grass as opposed to a record of 5-16 on AW; not at her best at Lingfield (AW) six weeks ago; of interest on June's defeat of Rainbow Mirage though.
