Disappointing at Hamilton last month, albeit in a good race (first two ran at Royal Ascot since); recorded a 5l win at Redcar (6f, good to firm) the time before and holds a leading chance on that form.

The form of her two wins is far superior to the form of her two defeats; had no trouble defying a penalty at Lingfield (6f, soft; first win on good to firm) and on her day she's clearly useful; doesn't look on too bad a mark.
