A fair 7f juvenile winner but she's yet to hit top form in two handicaps this spring, only sixth of eight at Newcastle (7f) on latter occasion; cheekpieces are reached for now with something to prove.

C&D novice winner (good to soft) last October; hasn't kicked on this year, but did shape okay (runner-up) in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (6f, good to soft) three starts back; an easing mark, change of headgear, and the return to Catterick are all reasons to retain faith.

Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second of five at Chester (6f, good) last month, but was below that form there a fortnight ago and has basically been disappointing since her 7f 2yo win in October.

Has mixed form in her six starts but she won a Catterick novice (7f, good to soft) last October and was a respectable second over C&D (cheekpieces added) last time; this is a deeper race but mark is sliding and she's in the mix.

Largely consistent at two when a 5f Catterick winner and she returned with a solid fourth of ten in 5f handicap there, giving the impression she's worth another go over 6f; player eased 1lb.

Much lower in the weights than when making the frame in her first three starts last year, but that's for a good reason with her form in four outings for this yard since last November decidedly moderate; look elsewhere.

Took advantage of a sliding mark on her return to turf when winning a soft-ground 0-65 off 3lb lower ten days ago; remains on a fair mark now back in form but this is tougher and she's having a first run over 5f in the best part of a year.

Sole win on turf came on good to firm at Pontefract last August off 4lb higher; had to switch for a run and couldn't finish strongly enough when last of six at Wolverhampton 36 days ago but shaped as if in form; however, others make a bit more appeal.
