Her second run for Edward Bethell, when runner-up over 6f here, was better than her first; has potential off this mark but the return to 5f is a slight query.

Listed winner who has a few duck eggs in her recent form figures but those were tough tasks; chance of landing this race partly depends on the effects of new headgear (visor replaces blinkers).
