Form & Verdict
2-2 at Newcastle, recording wide-margin handicap wins over 1m in November and this trip in the trial in January; the form of the latest win is unconvincing, however, and she had been beaten by Bridget's View at Southwell on her penultimate start; has to be respected but this will require another step forward.

Four wins on AW, including a valuable Newcastle handicap on Good Friday; proved herself on turf when third of 12 in 1m Group 2 at the Curragh (good) 24 days ago; subsequently purchased by Wathnan Racing; classy but she'll require a very smart handicap performance to defy such a lofty mark.
