Effective on fast and soft ground; 0-4 since her debut win at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but she's finished third in two of her three handicaps and shaped as though this drop back in trip would suit at Catterick (7f) last time; has hung at times but she still has potential and is respected with a tongue-tie added.
