Form & Verdict
Won a Southwell novice (1m) in February and was runner-up at Carlisle (1m/7f) in her first two handicaps; bit disappointing in last two runs but she still has low-mileage and is a player if she can get back near best; last two runs have been on good ground and peak form was on soft.

Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good.
