On a losing run but she's hinted at a revival in recent starts; the drop back to 6f could suit this free-going filly too and she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Made all to win a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February; good fourth at Newbury on her return to turf last month (6f, good to firm) but then lacked the pace to land a blow in a well-run 5f handicap 23 days ago; this looks easier and she still has time to do better; high on the list.

Has been advancing her form in handicaps and she made the breakthrough when scoring narrowly in 14-runner handicap at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago; up 4lb for that short-head win but the second was a comfortable winner next time; big player if potential soft ground proves okay.

Sole win came over a stiff 6f and she'll be happier back up in trip having lacked early toe at Windsor last time; yard won this last year, she's down to a career-low mark and sports first-time headgear under 5lb claimer Charlie Tucker; reasons for optimism.

Just one win from her 17 starts and no return to form at Chepstow on her recent reappearance, while she might be best at 6f; however, she's 7lb lower than when going close here (6f) last August and is not written off.

Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track.
