Dubawi filly who failed to progress at novice level but may blossom now handicapping with hood reapplied (showed her biggest promise in this headgear at Newmarket on debut); interesting on return from 419-day absence, especially if the market speaks positively.

Out of a Group-placed 1m AW winner; made promising debut on heavy turf in November and kept on strongly for third at Southwell (7f) later that month; likely to be suited by today's longer trip and a leading contender.

Hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck since making a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) just under a year ago; has dropped to a handy mark and could make her presence felt in first-time cheekpieces.
