Front-runner; second on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in February and she's been a fair fifth in double-figure fields at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) the next twice; it was a 0-120 last time and she's tackling a 0-100 today; could be involved back down in grade.

Remains a maiden after 17 starts but just five of those have been over hurdles and she ran well from the front on her handicap debut in this code when second over C&D (soft) in February; fair fifth of 19 at Down Royal (2m4f, good) since when inconvenienced by jumping to the left, and she could play a leading role now back at a left-handed track.
