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.
