No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when finishing seventh of 14 at Musselburgh four weeks ago (5f, good) but she didn't enjoy a smooth run through at a crucial stage; still has time to do better which makes her unique in this field; stable going along nicely too.

Tailed off at 100-1 in Newcastle novice (6f, AW) 17 days ago and needs to leave that run well behind, but she was previously a fair third of five over this C&D (good to soft) on her second start; makes her handicap debut and a case can be made on that penultimate form.

Promising third in a Southwell maiden (1m, AW) for Gemma Tutty in February but she's not gone on form that and has struggled in handicaps in last three runs; this drop to 6f could help but she's now 0-6 and others are more convincing.

Couldn't sustain the improvement of February's Southwell maiden third (1m), including switched to turf in a class 6 handicap latest; not too appealing on this first start since leaving Gemma Tutty; cheekpieces added.
