Form & Verdict
Good second of nine here on her debut last month (7f), forcing a well-touted newcomer to work hard; made a complete hash of the start at Leicester two weeks ago and that run can be excused; not easy to support her on the back of that stalls misdemeanour though.

Dual 6f AW winner, most recently at Wolverhampton last April off a 4lb higher mark; well beaten on turf on her first two outings this year but she did run respectably on the AW 12 days ago; cheekpieces added; suspicion she may be at her best over 6f.

Couple of absences since winning a 6f handicap here last spring off a 2lb higher mark; the return to Tapeta is an obvious plus point but she's very hit and miss, and will need to improve somewhat on this season's two efforts after two months off.

Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.

Low-key debut at Haydock in July (6f, good) but there was much more to take from her recent Kempton third, on the back foot after a slow start but keeping on well in the closing stages behind an impressive winner; plenty more to come and she's one of the likelier ones.
