3-23 albeit also placed ten times; the race didn't pan out her way at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time, but she had previously made an encouraging return/stable debut when third of six at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); each-way claims.

Reliable sort who returned for new yard with respectable third behind a big improver at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago; this step back up in trip is no problem but she looks weighted to her best off this mark and has a wide draw back on AW; others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Has a good strike-rate with five wins from 1m-1m2f, including here (soft; acts on a sound surface); supported when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on her penultimate start before a career-best effort when a close second upped to 1m4f at Salisbury latest; player.

Multiple 1m winner on turf/AW whose latest success came over 1m2f (good to firm) last season; slipping in the handicap and showed signs of a revival at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) latest; half-sister to a 1m4f winner, so this step up in trip may suit; each-way player.

Has improved with each of her three runs, going close here in January (9.4f; second start) then easily making all at Chelmsford (1m2f) 14 days later when the hood was left off (same today); this filly is entered in the Oaks and could continue to progress now upped in trip on handicap debut.
