All five turf runs have been on good/good to firm; won at Salisbury (6f) on sole 2yo start and she's run some good races in handicaps this season including a close call here (1m, good) in June; this is a new test on slow ground but she looked stretched at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last time and is not ruled out back in trip.

Hooded all starts; dead-heated in her sole outing as a 2yo and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, firstly at Sandown (1m, good) and then at Nottingham (1m, good to firm); dam won on the AW and she should stay this far, but she has gone up another 4lb which isn't ideal.

Showed no significant promise as a 2yo (four runs; 6f-1m) and is out of the weights for this seasonal debut but had wind surgery in March and wouldn't be the first from her stable to show huge improvement once switched to a middle-distance handicap as a 3yo.
