Won here in May (6f, good to firm) and made it 2-2 at Lingfield when scoring here (6f, good to firm) last month; shapes as though she'll be fine now back down to 5f and she's a strong candidate given her record here.

Form & Verdict
Continued her early-season progress with a good fifth in the Windsor Castle (form has worked out well); below par in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar on return from layoff but this is a big drop back in class; out of an AW winner; sets a useful standard on her Royal Ascot effort.

Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August.
