Unable to justify favouritism on Brighton nursery debut over an extended 5f at the beginning of this month but by no means disgraced in third and her market strength suggests she's thought capable of better; tended to lug to her left under pressure on that occasion and this more conventional track may suit better; enters the reckoning.
