Her three handicaps have been this year over 7f, 1m4f and 1m2f; returned to turf here (1m2f, good) last time and it was one of her better efforts in fourth of nine, although not entirely on an even keel (hung left over 1f out) and not crying out for this drop back in trip.

Big prices and well adrift in AW events at 7f and 1m in the autumn but he's now qualified for an ordinary handicap and this longer trip should suit on pedigree; market can give an idea as to what's expected.
