Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark.
