Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Looks best on the AW and bids for a hat-trick from a 3lb higher mark after wins at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in August and over this C&D three weeks ago (beating Invincible Crown by a neck); no reason why she shouldn't go well again; stable also runs Haziym.
