Opened her account in Newmarket contest (1m) in May; consistent since, most recently going very close at Ripon (1m2f, good; clear of remainder); due to go up 3lb in future; leading player, provided she takes to first-time headgear.

Change of tactics and off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good; 10-1) three starts back; she's held her form well - without progressing - making the frame at Nottingham and Hamilton (8.5f); dam was a 1m2f-1m4f winner (RPR 91) so she deserves another chance to prove herself over 1m2f.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.
