Half-sister to 1m4f winner so could appreciate this step up in trip and she ran okay at Nottingham (1m2f) behind a shorter-priced stablemate who had the run of things up front; likely contender.

Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up
