Two wins for Robert Eddery came over a stiff, undulating 7f, so has that in her favour; lacked consistency for new yard, below par in first-time cheekpieces latest (headgear now off, tongue-tie on), but could easily bounce back.

Has raced mainly at 7f this year; did well in the spring, winning twice, and she surged back to form when second of 12 at Ayr two weeks ago; handles any ground and she's tactically versatile; solid contender.
