Four runs for Ralph Beckett, running her best race when fourth of 13 in a Windsor novice in July (6f, good); didn't get home over 7f on soft ground on her nursery debut at Chester five weeks ago; down in grade and still not fully exposed; stable debut (same owner).

Showed some promise in her first two starts as a 2yo including over C&D, but she has gone the wrong way since and is now 0-12; stable's cracking recent form is one area for optimism; hood given a go this time.

Well-held at single-figure odds in two runs over 6f, most recently when a fading seventh of nine at Ripon (100-30) last month; the soft ground may have been an issue that day but she needs a transformation on this step up in trip.
