Form & Verdict
Made good progress last season, winning four handicaps on good or faster ground; had a wind operation before her return to action at Catterick ten days ago where she showed testing ground wasn't an issue, never far away and keeping on strongly (5f, soft); that win backed up by the clock and she's a key player despite the 5lb rise.
