Form & Verdict
Takes yet another drop in trip having been a weakener in her recent races over 3m2f, 3m and 2m4f, albeit on slow ground; has the ability to cope with this mark and perhaps this sharper test will suit.

Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson.

Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though.
