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.

Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, sound turf and AW) and she completed her season with very creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; look for market interest ahead of this reappearance.
