Big outsider and beaten 19l+ in first three starts at 1m and 1m2f; this is way more realistic and it will be interesting to see what the market says; now goes in first-time tongue-tie.

None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look.
