Form & Verdict
All starts at 6f; carried across the track so did well in the circumstances when fourth of 12 here (good to soft) in July and although she never struck a blow at Windsor since (good to firm) that was no bad thing with handicaps looming; considered, with the extra furlong likely to suit.

Consistent in defeat since winning over 1m at Ayr (good to firm) in May but looks to be biting off more than she can chew from out of the handicap in this higher grade; has raced mainly on good or firmer and needs to prove she's fully effective on softer ground.
