All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact.

Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out.

Four wins on the AW and 8lb lower than for the latest; promising return when beaten under a length into third of six at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January, but hasn't built on it; switch to blinkers needs to have a positive effect.
