Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut.

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.
