Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance.

AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping.

Running well on Tapeta earlier in the year including when easily winning 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f), her only success so far; not in the same form lately, though, so she needs to turn a corner.

Eight AW wins, including under Conor Whiteley at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in May and Newcastle (1m4f) in June; failed to prove her effectiveness on turf on latest start and the trip this short is a concern, but she has to be respected back on AW.

Modest form in three turf outings and a hurdle in recent months, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining her sole success over 1m4f here at the start of the year; may need further than this now, but still a player if bouncing back.
