2lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May; soft ground might be blamed for two heavy defeats late last year and perhaps she needed the race when unable to justify market prominence on recent stable debut behind two of these over C&D last month; wore cheekpieces last time and also tongue tied today; interesting to see if her backers return.
