The drop to 6f and fitting of cheekpieces saw her return to form at Goodwood (soft ground) in June, seeing off eight rivals in a 0-70 fillies' handicap; not in the same form at Lingfield (AW) seven weeks ago; needs a full revival.

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and new cheekpieces when scoring at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month; recent 5lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this return to Polytrack won't be a problem.
