Lightly raced 5yo who built upon her promising fourth of 18 at York when winning at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; did it easily last time and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop her today.

Does not look good enough if today's rivals are on song but her close third of 11 in the Listed Galtres at York (back up to 1m4f, good to firm) on latest start was career-best form and she ran on well from off the pace having been checked over 2f out.

Form & Verdict
This is her first run beyond 1m and she was tenth of 11 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Ascot; however, it was still a fair performance and the way she shaped over 7f/1m for Joseph O'Brien hinted this sort of trip may suit; not a forlorn hope.
