Thrown in on some of her Irish form but she's proving frustrating for new connections; ran well for second at Southwell a fortnight ago but she wasn't in quite the same form at Newcastle last week (off 3lb lower); another change of accessories today; drawn widest.

Dual 5f turf scorer in Ireland, but despite having dropped well below her last winning mark she has been disappointing in three starts for her new yard; the switch to first-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference.
