Disappointing maiden who's been tried in two forms of headgear and over trips ranging from 7f-1m3f; did better last time (1m, Polytrack) though, and that gave something to build on down another 2lb.

Posted career-best performance when coming from off the pace to win decisively at Lingfield (1m) this month; can cope with today's drop back in trip (providing she gets a good gallop to aim at) and her recent 3lb rise is offset by Joe Leavy's useful 3lb claim; major player.
