The winner of five 6f handicaps last year, beating a few reopposing rivals in the process; only midfield at Leicester on last month's return but the stable form is a positive and she could take a step forward.

Improved on her handicap debut when third of nine at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) and was too free when ridden more positively at Chelmsford; well-bred filly and the first-time hood could make a difference to her.

Quite eyecatching when third on handicap debut over Bath's 5.5f (good; second run in a hood) as she found herself well off the pace before finding trouble late on; good chance off an untouched mark provided she copes with this new surface.

Close fifth over Wolverhampton's 8.6f on his final start for James Fanshawe; hasn't performed to that level on either start since (7f/8.6f) and this drop to 6f asks further questions of him.

Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina.

Best run was her 150-1 fifth (beaten 4l) in a 7f handicap at Kempton two runs back but the balance of her form suggests that might be flattering.
