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.

Both wins have come at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) for David O'Meara this year; not beaten far into third of ten on her second start for this yard at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago, but a suspicion that the minimum trip suits her best.
