Consistent since handicapping and improved on AW efforts when second at Windsor early in the month; made the running from the rail draw there but is only 1lb higher and the stiffer 6f should be fine if she settles better than has sometimes been the case.

10-1, stayed on for promising third on debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) last September; not seen since and on that evidence today's drop to 5f isn't an obvious plus, but she's a half-sister to two fairly useful 5f winners and could be sharper this time.

Has done her racing since handicapping over 5f and hasn't struggled for toe; whether this stiff 6f will be too much of a test for her, switched from cheekpieces to blinkers, is a question but she's starting to look exposed anyway.
