J: Jack Callan

Has won two of her four races; it was never in much doubt at Newmarket where she travelled well before winning comfortably; that was her first handicap, first run at this trip and a first run on fast ground; therefore remains thoroughly unexposed and she's effectively just 1lb higher here with the talented Jack Callan taking away 7lb.

Form & Verdict
One of her two novice wins last season came here; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners) but then only fourth of six at Newmarket, failing to convince stamina-wise over 1m.
