Her first win at the 23rd attempt when well backed over C&D two weeks ago (first run in just a tongue-tie); mostly consistent and a 3lb rise is by no means the end of the world.

Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out.
