It's been a struggle since beating a very good yardstick at Cork in May (5f, good); has dropped back to a tempting mark and new headgear could give her a lift.

Went up 7lb for beating Kendall Roy by a length over C&D in May and her new mark is beginning to look an issue after subsequent defeats, for all that one of those was at Royal Ascot.

Showed little in three turf maidens but an improved effort when 3rd to Scorchio last time; up 3lb but is still 10lb better off with that rival now; blinkers added, so a strong chance.

Two 5f wins last year, off 63 at Newmarket (good) in August and off 67 on her final start at the Curragh (yielding) for this rider; career high mark now and record fresh suggests she'll need this run after a 212-day absence.

Sole win came over Dundalk's Polytrack 6f, though about as effective on turf at her best; trail went cold from the end of last summer, and didn't lay down enough of a marker on this month's return to persuade.

Best of three maiden runs was on turf debut at Cork on soft but wasn't as good twice on AW; cheekpieces can be a help on nursery debut and worth a market check.
