Regressive maiden who's found her level now, finishing a clear second over C&D three weeks ago; has often pulled hard and may do again, going without a hood for the first time this year, but a leading player if amenable.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.

Disappointing favourite on her handicap debut (turf) in the summer and was again below par at Kempton (1m3f) next time; has since been eased 3lb and it's too soon to write her off.
