Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year; 0-11 on turf but she was runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in June and a good third behind Kaleidoscope Eyes there (7.3f, good) last time; should go well again and she won't mind if the ground becomes testing.

Two 1m wins on Polytrack this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; finished runner-up three times since her last success including at Wolverhampton (7f) and Ffos Las (1m) in last two runs; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and has leading claims.
