Huge prices and well beaten in three starts over 7f/1m (hooded last time); pedigree doesn't suggest that sprinting is what she needs on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't built on the promise she showed last summer, albeit beaten less than a length into second of six at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February; may have needed the run at Windsor (6f, good to firm) eight days ago but she is looking exposed now.

Improved when winning comfortably under Olivia Tubb over C&D (soft; 25-1) last month with three of these behind; the runner-up (who runs in the first division) has won since, but a 7lb rise and likely different ground conditions do pose a question.
