Won handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) in September and followed up at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; held up for both and finished powerfully to be well on top; has just a 6lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and that gives her an excellent chance.

The addition of cheekpieces saw her get off the mark in a 7f handicap at Doncaster in July (good to firm); stays 1m but she wasn't at her best at Southwell 11 days ago; the return of the tongue-tie can help but her chance would likely be compromised by rain.
