Improved from her debut when third of 14 at Bath (5f, good) last month and ran to a similar level when filling the same position at Catterick (5f, good) 11 days later; sets the standard and shouldn't be far away despite the likely different conditions.

Placed twice, more recently with a personal best on Chelmsford's Polytrack (7f; penultimate start); was probably too free when stepped up to 1m at the same track last time; this drop back in trip looks positive and if she is able to get back to the level of that penultimate effort, she's a player.
