Front-runner who is 4-8 on the AW including a C&D success in May last year; beaten a head back here on New Year's Day and although off ten weeks since, she is proven fresh; major player.

Stamina on the dam's side and the drop from 7f may not be ideal, having stayed on from a wide stall on her Kempton debut three weeks ago; that effort wasn't without promise though.
