Strong traveller who broke duck over 5f at Tipperary on reappearance; two runs for this yard, taking a late second when returned to 5f at Ayr last week; another slow start could cost her dear but good claims if repeating the run on first AW start since debut.

Form & Verdict
Mostly vulnerable in sprint handicaps on AW and turf but things fell just right for her when off the mark over 5f at Windsor in June; lesser efforts over the same trip and 6f since and a lot needs to go right if she's to win again; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking, though.
