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.

Ten-race maiden is 0-5 on the AW; best effort a 2.5l defeat over this C&D back in February off 51; may have needed latest poor run over 5f here but she is hard to fancy from 7lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Some decent runs in turf maidens last year; improved run in a 5f maiden here on stable debut after a break; can improve from that and is a player in first-time cheekpieces.
