3-3 over 1m2f on the AW last year; proved her effectiveness on turf when second in a 1m2f handicap here in May (good) and it was always going to be tough for her in a 1m4f Group 3 last month (80-1); fair shout back in a handicap should conditions dry out (ran no race when tried on soft once before).

Third in a strong Doncaster maiden (1m, soft) on her sole 2yo start; not progressed this season, including when well held on her handicap debut here a fortnight ago (1m2f, soft); dropping back to 1m may help, as might the return of cheekpieces, but there are risks involved.
