High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her.

Lightly raced 4yo whose solid record in novice events, including 2yo success over C&D, has not been transferred to two handicaps; sold out of Ed Bethell's yard for £6,000 since last run; return to this scenario may have positive effect on stable/seasonal debut.
