A dual 7f AW scorer in early spring but she's yet to match that form in two subsequent runs on turf, only ninth at Doncaster (7f) 25 days ago; she's hard to warm to.

Form & Verdict
Looked like she might have turned a corner when racing prominently in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month, eventually finishing third; couldn't back that up when she was too free over C&D latest; not ruled out if settling better.
