Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
0-9 but she's been placed on six occasions and her consistency is hard to fault; drawn to attack and she should run her race but suspicion there will be something stronger late on.

Two wins last summer (7f/7.4f) and she's below her last winning mark; a couple of fair efforts in the first half of this spring but two lesser performances have followed and she has to raise her game.
