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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Made all here over 6f (cheekpieces first time) and 5f for a quickfire double in April; unsighted in two runs back from a 12-week break; well drawn if positive tactics are deployed but, as on her latest start, she again goes without headgear.

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.
