Form & Verdict
Unable to justify good market support when down the field at Market Rasen in March (bled from the nose) but continues to lurk on a good mark and was a C&D winner last year; will be feared if her backers wade in again; tongue-tie fitted for first time.

Won readily in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June but her form has slumped since; can be excused her most recent defeat (on heavy ground) but still arrives here with a point to prove.
