Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated.

Didn't appear to quite get home at Leicester (1m4f, good) last month having only gone down narrowly at Hamilton (1m3f, good) the time before; form of her latest AW outing when fourth of eight at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in June has worked out well; respected with cheekpieces given a go.
