Form & Verdict
Mainly consistent in AW handicaps since November, winning twice here (7f/1m) and once at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack), but not so good off this mark at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; probably stays this far, but needs to bounce back.

Back from a break with two narrow wins here (9.4f) in the autumn but her spark has been missing in last four runs; now only 1lb higher than for her last win, but slow starts have been an issue recently and she still has something to prove at this trip; first-time eyeshields.

Best effort when third of seven in a Nottingham maiden (1m2f, good) in April, but well held on handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; improvement needed, but it's still early days and longer trip should be within range on breeding; cheekpieces applied.
