Form & Verdict
Went close in Class 3 handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and subsequent defeat in valuable 1m handicap at York's Ebor meeting is easily overlooked in this context; drops back in trip and swaps visor for cheekpieces here; appears to have been found an excellent opportunity.

Placed on five of her 11 starts for Brian Meehan, most recently when close second in Class 5 handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June, but has a point to prove after running poorly on recent stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Doubled her winning tally on turf over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, but will need to improve again to defy a 4lb higher mark and she does look best on a faster surface.

First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again.

Beaten just over a length into third of six behind Kodi Fire over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago; didn't enjoy a clear run there and now 5lb better off, but her modest strike-rate is a concern.

Made fairly encouraging debut when third (albeit well held) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in July and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground is excusable; hooded for first time here; should collect a minor prize.

Sole win came at Southwell (6f, AW) in November; ran below market expectations when fourth in a Brighton classified (6f, good to firm; 7-4) last time but she had excuses (saddle slipped and was struck into); worst two runs came on testing ground but they were at 1m.
