Again pulled hard, back from three months off, when not seeing out a stiff 5f last time; about sets the standard on her two spring seconds and there won't be any excuses this time from a fair draw over an easier course.

Two creditable handicap runs have followed her Ripon novice win last month; she'll need to raise her game to defy this mark but, after just six starts, that's quite possible.

Didn't need to improve on her spring seconds to win a weak Ripon novice 12 days ago; she settled better that day, though, and remains relatively unexposed as she goes handicapping at a sensible level.

Needed her debut in the spring and did better when third a fortnight ago at Musselburgh (Glowchester fourth); the exposed runner-up rather drags that effort down but it gave her something to build on.
