Similar form in three runs this summer (5f-5.5f; soft, good and good to firm); stepping up to 6f and tackling her first nursery could spark something extra but stall 1 tempers enthusiasm.

Looked one to keep onside when making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in July, but not matched that form in either start off this mark (both in cheekpieces) since; needs to bounce back and perhaps fast ground suits her better.

Yard won two of the last three runnings of this; patiently ridden from a wide stall when winning off 6lb lower at Lingfield in July (6f, good to firm) but was some way below that level on to soft ground in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest, which gives her something to prove.
