Form & Verdict
A win and two places from her three races at this track, including when third to Jenever three starts back; while no win for 13 months and none too consistent overall, she went down by just a neck at Bath on latest outing and has to be considered seriously back here.

Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her.
