Both wins have come in four-runner events, the latest a Wolverhampton nursery (5f, Tapeta) early last month; fair fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) three weeks later (just over 2l behind Facoulty), but the return to a stiff track may not be ideal.

Only 2lb higher than when landing 5f Wolverhampton nursery three weeks ago but that small-field race did rather fall into her lap after the leaders went too fast; things aren't sure to work out as favourably this time.

Came closest to winning when beaten a length into second of seven at Lingfield (6f, soft) in July, but not so effective on fast ground there a fortnight later; ran with credit when fourth of eight at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) in April and one for the shortlist in new headgear combination.

Not wildly progressive since her Brocklesby fifth, but a 1l second on this month's C&D nursery debut (soft) was career-best form, and all the more meritworthy considering she'd turned out 24 hours earlier; offered little on sole previous start on a sound surface, albeit over 7f.
