Career-best form when making all at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last month and creditable fourth of nine over the same trip at Chelmsford (AW) 17 days ago; only midfield in this race last year, though, and can be opposed back down in trip; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Rarely seen on firmer than good but close third on it here once last term; last July's win came at this track and her debut for new trainer last month was a 1m4f win at Goodwood, holding on by a short head but just 2lb higher today and she's in serious calculations again.
