String of consistent efforts since her AW win last summer, including from a wide stall back on turf six weeks ago; no obvious reason she won't give her running again in a race in which a few have something to prove.

One win from 16 starts, over 6f on Kempton AW last August; in the frame on sand six times since but she hardly shifts in the weights; probably handles turf but needs a bit more for the return to this surface if she's to get her head in front again.

Mixed form in three qualifying runs since October but she went close at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) on her second start; should have more to offer now switched to handicapping and she needs a close look back up in trip.

A failure under patient tactics aside, she proved consistent last autumn and winter; timely return to 6f judged on recent keeping-on Tapeta runs, but she's still possibly high in the weights despite 1lb more off.
