Consistent filly who has only once finished out of the frame; won a Beverley maiden in May (7.5f, soft) and best run in handicaps when second at Catterick two runs ago (7f, soft); not so good at 1m last time; a possible but best form on soft ground.

Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered.
