Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 8yo and made all on her return from an absence to prevail in a small field at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to firm) where the front two drew clear; 6lb higher here but they claim 3lb and she could have more to offer.

Unlucky not to win three in a row over 2m4f in the spring (good to firm-good to soft); had to settle for fourth when warm favourite to add to her tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but that certainly wasn't a bad run and she remains open to further progress; respected.

Would have won at Southwell last month had she not come down at the last and successful on either side of that, doing it comfortably here last time under positive tactics; has to take an 8lb rise on the chin but looks progressive.

Has seemingly come on plenty for taking the best part of a year off as she made a winning return at Sedgefield in May and had plenty in hand when taking quite a heavy fall at the last at Southwell (2m4f; good) on Monday; needs to be none the worse on this very quick return.
