Won handicap debut last July and minor honours in four of five races since; twice runner-up in the mud, including when never nearer in 13-runner race at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start; wore tongue-tie for both starts this term; bit to prove with the extra 3f today, against proven stayers.

Runner-up on heavy at Nottingham (1m2f) last October; entitled to have needed her comeback run when third of five at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy; first-time tongue tie) nearly five weeks ago; stamina isn't totally guaranteed over 1m5f.
