Both 2yo starts over 7f last September, finishing second at Salisbury then disappointing favourite in conditions event at Newbury; solid second on her seasonal return at Kempton five weeks ago (6f) and she's a major player back against her own sex.

Only blip this season came on her penultimate run but she bounced back from that on the return to 7f at York (good to firm) when fourth of 18 from a difficult position; still lightly raced (especially at this trip) and can do better.
