Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance.

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form.

Keeps getting better and she followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event over the same C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival today and there's unlikely to be much between them.
