Form & Verdict
Easily landed a Leicester novice (1m, good to soft) last October, but looked in need of the run on last month's Newbury return (1m2f, good to soft); makes her handicap debut and is bred to stay at least this far; still in the Oaks.

Has not made the progress that seemed likely and although she was a close fourth of seven at Goodwood (second attempt over this far) last time, that was when setting a steady pace; acts on good to soft, unraced on soft.

3-3 over 1m2f on the AW last year; proved her effectiveness on turf when second in a 1m2f handicap here in May (good) and it was always going to be tough for her in a 1m4f Group 3 last month (80-1); fair shout back in a handicap should conditions dry out (ran no race when tried on soft once before).

Took her ten attempts to get off the mark, but now bids for a hat-trick after wins on the AW at Kempton (1m3f) and Chelmsford (1m2f); 2lb rise less of a concern than the return to turf (out of the frame in three attempts).

She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that.
