Clearcut winner of Lingfield classified (7f, good to firm) under Oisin Murphy last month, her tenth start, and went very close off today's mark in recent handicap over that C&D; reunited with the champion jockey for this first attempt at 1m; must be considered.

Her fourth of five at Salisbury (7f, good) wasn't a bad effort last month but that's the firm pick of her last four starts; Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking for this classified debut, however; interesting to see how she goes in the market.
