Form & Verdict
Last summer's two wins came over 7f and she had no problem with 8.6f last time, so the question is whether she'll have to speed to overcome the outside stall now sprinting again; she's fully exposed either way.

Minor form for William Haggas as 2yo and she couldn't pick up on handicap debut for new yard at Bath 11 days ago (about 5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); at least she should come on for the run and the extra distance is likely to suit.

Ended her three-race juvenile campaign with a promising third in Chepstow maiden (6f, good) but kicked off her handicap career with a disappointing run here (5.7f, good to soft) in April; still unexposed but she was beaten 10l last time and has something to prove after another break.

Unraced on slow ground; two fair AW efforts back this spring and having Billy Loughnane take off 5lb will help, having been dropped 2lb; the return to grass also looks in his favour (currently 0-8 on the AW, 3-5 on turf) and he should go well.
