Saw off 23 rivals when winning last season's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at the Royal meeting (C&D; good to firm); better form when pipped at Goodwood last July; this season yet to take off but she may have needed her return and then there were blindfold issues at Redcar three weeks ago; Colin Keane booked and a revival isn't out of the question but her low draw may be an issue.
