Won four of her first six races after joining James Owen and back to form with a second at Southwell (1m3f) last month when Always Waving was behind; only sixth at Lingfield though and inconsistency is creeping in; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Won in second-time blinkers at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April and followed up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) five days later; down the field at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time and there's a headgear switch this afternoon (visor returns; has won in one) but she's not written off.

Only her third run when on top late on to take a 1m3f Southwell novice and ran okay back there on handicap debut in a race that didn't pan out too favourably; down 2lb and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; respected.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win in ten runs for Andrew Balding but she's 2-5 for this yard and won by 5l at Windsor last May (1m2f); her previous win came here when overcoming a troubled run; the glaring concern is an absence of 275 days.
