Form & Verdict
Hard to know what happened at Newcastle, in between her two Polytrack wins, so she has that to prove; otherwise she looked to have a bit in hand when beating Something To Do at Lingfield (is 2lb worse off tonight) and holds obvious claims.

Progressive filly who was given a basement mark for her handicap debut and has improved in leaps and bounds since, winning three times from 1m to 1m2f; latest win was here (9.4f) a week ago by 3l; up 8lb and has stamina to prove for this longer distance but she's thriving and not dismissed lightly.

Expensive to follow since handicapping (latterly behind Mamalouka), often starting slowly, and it's possible to argue he's happier on Polytrack; he's run well each time he's sported a new form of headgear though (goes in an eyeshield tonight).
