She has looked an improved performer this year, winning at Beverley on her reappearance (8.5f, good to soft) and adding a C&D fillies' handicap last month (good to soft); up in class and now taking on male opposition but she shouldn't be underestimated.

Last season included four wins and a good C&D second to Sax Appeal; a hard-working winner at evens in four-runner race at Lingfield (1m6f, good) last month, which he needs to improve on if he's to defy a 5lb penalty but that was a solid start to his 4yo campaign and he could still have potential.
