Dual C&D winner last season; bumped into a well-handicapped, subsequent winner when second over C&D last month; nudged up 2lb but a repeat of that effort would put her firmly in the picture.

Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates.

Form & Verdict
A 13-race maiden who returned to something like her best with the addition of a tongue-tie when a 13l second at Windsor (2m4f, good to soft) in November; absent since and the tongue-tie is left off but has claims if reproducing that effort off an unchanged mark.

Didn't fire when dropped back to 2m six weeks ago, her final start for Richard Bandey, but was in good form at about 2m4f beforehand, notably when making all at Hereford (good) in April; recently changed hands for £20,000 and now tackles a new trip on stable debut; interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her.

Hasn't been able to get seriously competitive across her five rules runs, in handicaps on last two occasions, but at least her 13l third here (2m4f, soft) in February was a step in the right direction; this 3m point runner-up (good to yielding) could build on it now up in trip and on better ground.

Her worst performance in Irish points had been recorded on soft, so perhaps February's Plumpton failure on similar ground ought not to have surprised; nicely progressive in staying handicaps otherwise with wins at Taunton and Ascot, though the 7lb rise since the latter asks a stiff question.

Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort.
