Four-time AW winner at up to 1m3f but she's disappointed in both starts this year; has dipped below her last winning mark, however, so can't be confidently ruled out tackling this trip for the first time.

Has shown some ability in three novices, as when fourth of nine (albeit 9l behind the winner) on her return over C&D last month; open to further progress now handicapping, but it will be needed.

She ran her best race so far when second of six on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); she will need a bit more to defy this mark but she showed promise on her sole turf start and is unexposed.

Placed in all three starts over 1m on the AW this year, albeit not really progressing; needs to turn things around now handicapping, but the longer trip should suit on pedigree.
