Form & Verdict
Straight up to 2m for handicap debut in July, which she won, and she's since shown improved form with placed efforts over 1m6f/2m, closing to within a neck at Gooodwood last time; up another 2lb but looks the type to make further progress and 2m2f is probably within reach.

2m for handicap debut in July, which she won from Temporize at Doncaster, and three placed efforts (one on heavy) were followed by her C&D Trial win (good) from Sheishybrid three weeks ago; held up and travelled up smoothly to challenge in the latter, so there's potential alongside her stiffer task off this 6lb higher mark (4lb out of the handicap); considered.

Seems versatile ground-wise; unexposed stayer who has largely progressive RPRs and ran well in Newmarket handicap (1m6f) most recently; 1-1 over 2m, namely a win at Doncaster where she beat Temporize before that rival made the switch to Syd Hosie; interesting back at this distance.
