Form & Verdict
Signalled her turn was near at Southwell in July (when cheekpieces went on) and did the business at Lingfield next time (both 1m); isn't bred to appreciate 1m2f but shaped as if it may bring about improvement when plugging on into fifth over 8.6f last time.

2-4 since returning to the AW with cheekpieces fitted, her latest cosy success coming at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) on Saturday; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but there may still be more to come from her over the trip and she has run well on Tapeta; leading claims.

Five good runs kicked off with 1m2f classified win and ended with clear-best RPR over C&D, beaten a neck but pulling over 5l clear of the third; every chance soft ground was against her at Sandown last time and she can bounce back from the rail draw.
