Form & Verdict
Veteran of the field and thoroughly exposed but she's a three-time C&D scorer and races off a workable mark back here; possibilities if bouncing back from latest effort (form dipped).

Made all to claim her tenth career victory in a 1m handicap at Nottingham (good to firm) in June and then ran just as well in defeat; 6f was on the sharp side when below par last time but again looks vulnerable tackling a bunch of 3yos.
