Form & Verdict
Dual 5f novice winner (Tapeta, heavy) last summer who's finished well held in two handicaps since, including on her comeback at Brighton (good to firm) recently; needs to improve a deal on that under Jim Crowley, who takes a first ride for the yard.

Two poor efforts this spring, latterly when well behind Connie's Rose last Tuesday, leave her with something to prove; likes it here, though, is fine on good to firm ground and popped up at big prices twice last autumn, so no surprise to see better.

Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too.
