Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf.

Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable.
