Favourite on her debut in May, when beaten a long way on very soft ground; either conditions or a breathing issue (has since had a wind op) were likely behind that showing and she should do better.

Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off.

Prominent in the market for two runs in early summer, both on slower ground than she'll be facing today, latterly behind a useful winner over C&D; goes on the shortlist.
