Placed on first start for this trainer at Southwell (1m; hooded) in April; hasn't kicked on since, but did emerge with a suitable excuse (lost both hind shoes) when a beaten 6-4 favourite at Nottingham (1m2f) latest; slowly easing mark.

Third at Leicester (good) last time was her most affirmative statement on turf or over 1m2f, as well as being recorded in a fairly well-stocked 0-70; not one for blind faith given her propensity to pull, but this does look an easier opportunity.
