Form & Verdict
0-7 but she's finished third in three of her four handicaps and has been beaten less than 2l here (1m3f/1m4f) in her last two starts; her mark hasn't budged despite those creditable efforts and she should give it another good shot.

Displayed a thoroughly willing attitude when breaking her duck at Kempton (1m3f) a fortnight ago; that form has since been franked by the runner-up so, while she undoubtedly has more to do from this 6lb higher mark, further improvement remains a possibility; first run at Southwell.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when narrowly landing a 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton two weeks ago, her first run for 229 days; wore blinkers for the first time on that occasion and they're now swapped for a visor; should give it another good go up 2lb.

0-10, but she was running well over 1m4f on Polytrack late last year; returns from 229 days off in first-time blinkers and not sure dropping in trip is ideal, but still hard to dismiss with Simon Walker taking the ride.
