Wouldn't judge her too harshly on last two runs (met trouble on former occasion and then faced a stiff task from out of the weights latest); this more suitable and she's not discounted.

In the first-time visor and ridden with greater restraint she returned to winning ways at Lingfield (1m2f), getting nicely on top at the finish; this is the longest trip she's encountered to date and the headgear will have to work again.

Won at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April and kept on for solid fourth at Brighton next time (1m2f, good to firm; unproven on slow ground); however, she's been below par the last twice and needs to get back on track.

Last three wins have been on the AW and the latest was at Lingfield (1m4f) in April; that was in a small-field event but she's only 2lb higher here and takes a big drop back in grade after a tough assignment at Goodwood last time; not ruled out.

11-race maiden (four seconds) in her 11 starts for Sir Mark Prescott; 60,000gns sale and dropped in trip when obliging comfortably in five-runner race over C&D last Monday on first attempt for new connections, so she's firmly in the mix under 6lb penalty.
