Gained a first win at Windsor (6f) in September but she has failed to build on it since handicapping, ninth of 11 over 7f here 16 days ago; mark is falling but she still needs to take a big step forward.

Sprung a surprise in a soft-ground Windsor maiden last September; no impact in handicaps since but the ground has been good to firm back on turf on her last two starts and today's conditions should be a bit closer to those which she encountered when winning; no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang.

Ffos Las (6f, good) win on debut; close fifth in a 7f AW handicap in January represents her best form but two heavy defeats have followed; has her first run in a 0-70 and with a tongue-tie added; not solid.

Emphatic winner of uncompetitive 6f maiden at Ffos Las (good) on debut in August; creditable show in her first handicap, over 7f at Wolverhampton in January, but she dropped out quickly over 1f out at Southwell since; this trip looks her best option and it's too soon to question her.

Moderate form in her three qualifying starts but improved on entering this sphere at Chepstow (6f, good) latest, when she raced prominently but didn't quite have the pace late on; the step up in trip looks positive for her first start on Tapeta; drops 2lb; not ruled out.
