Serial hard-puller who hung right and made her move very wide over 1m6f here a month ago; that was a decent effort in the circumstances and she's one to consider for a trainer who won a division of this last season.

Yet to run up to her mark in any handicap, neither the visor nor blinkers improving matters the last twice (latter nevertheless retained here); this sort of trip on turf is a hitherto untried combination, at least.
