Makes the running or races prominently; 1m wins in Brighton novice and Nottingham handicap on first two turf starts last season and maintained her form well later; cheekpieces latest start, not today; sole attempt at 1m2f was solid and she now tries 1m1f; unraced on softer than good; off 341 days.

Latest of her three wins came at Newmarket (1m, good; made all) last October off a 3lb higher mark than today's; mostly below her best this year but she was a respectable third last time; will likely face competition for the lead from Tronido.

Form & Verdict
Long time since she raced on softer than good but she used to be fine on it, also over longer trips than this although she's seen mostly these days at 1m; both wins were 1m last July; back down the weights but she showed enough initially this term to be of interest; not so good on latest outing.
