Ran well for second on her handicap/seasonal debut in April (6f, good to firm) but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; down in the weights but risky tried in another new combination of accessories.

Came from off the pace to beat Shamardia at Lingfield last month (6f; well backed) when she had reportedly been treated for ulcers; no show twice since (wide draw latest) and has something to prove again.

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last month where she was subsequently reported to have been treated for ulcers; couldn't back it up at Wolverhampton one week later and others are more appealing.

Off the mark on Polytrack last weekend, when backed in from fancy prices; that improvement was put down to having overcome ulcers and she could well be up to defying a 3lb rise.

Both wins were in September including over C&D; mixed form since her last success but was a clear second at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time and has claims if she can back that up off an unchanged mark.

Both wins over 6f on the AW last September; had dropped 1lb below her last winning mark when a close fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheepieces) 11 days ago, but her stamina for this far remains unproven.

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when making all in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; dictated a steady pace on that occasion and she won't find it so easy to execute those tactics this time.

All four wins have been on the AW at Lingfield (6f) but she's posted good efforts on turf on her last two starts, latest when the blindfold came off late at Bath (5.5f, firm) two weeks ago; slower ground probably wouldn't be ideal.

T: Chelsea Banham

Three-time Polytrack winner who has plenty of toe and does a lot of her racing over 5f, as when turning in her best turf effort to date last time (not saying much); may be vulnerable late but should be able to grab the stand rail in front if that's the plan.

Three-time Lingfield winner last year who's achieved little in four runs on turf; this is easier back in cheekpieces but stall 9 isn't ideal for a front-runner and she wasn't at her best when last seen.
