Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who ran well when third on the AW here (1m2f) in April; however, following wind surgery she was tailed off at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and it's hard to be hopeful after that.

Record of 1-6 in her first season last year, the win in Newcastle novice event (1m2f); non-stayer over 1m4f on final outing; drop back in trip and booking of Rossa Ryan are positives.

Form & Verdict
Has yet to finish better than sixth across her four starts but she was beaten only about 3l when eighth of nine on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good) three weeks ago, and the way she kept on suggests today's step up in trip can prompt improvement; could have a part to play.

Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account.
