Built on her stable debut to win in clearcut fashion at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time visor) eight days ago; still looks well treated under a 6lb penalty and commands plenty of respect.

Three wins, including C&D, since joining James Owen last summer; far too strong for her five rivals at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) but that was only Class 5 and she will need more to follow up in this stronger race off a 6lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Came from the back of the field to gain her third C&D success in a classified event in July, before a solid fourth of ten at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 48 days ago; needs things to drop right given the way she is ridden but should be competitive back here.

Poor 1-22 strike-rate on turf and not at the top of her game on Southwell AW on her last two starts, but she's never really shone there; she's 5lb lower than for her close fourth over C&D (good) last October and is an interesting contender now away from Southwell.

Sole win from 11 starts came at Beverley (7.5f, soft) in July; met traffic problems before running well for third over this C&D this month and again kept on late when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) ten days ago; the stiffer finish back here may suit.

Too early to pigeonhole her as a mudlark but her form did take off when faced with soft and heavy going last autumn, winning at Ayr and Nottingham (both around 1m); only sixth on good ground when last seen; likely she has more to offer this year but perhaps when underfoot conditions are more demanding.
