4yo who made it fourth-time lucky when landing a C&D novice last month; that was at 22-1 but she was strong at the finish and this well-bred filly is open to more progress on handicap debut; respected.

Backed in from 20-1 to 9-2 when fourth of 14 on her Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) last June; clearly has ability but her absence since is a concern and she isn't crying out for the extra 2f on pedigree.

0-4 but was only beaten a neck on her second start/AW debut at Kempton (1m) in April; two lesser runs since, including on handicap debut when eighth of 14 at Salisbury (7f, good) 12 days ago; first-time cheekpieces need to have the desired effect.

Both starts last October, stepping up from her Southwell debut when winning narrowly at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 18 days later; the form of that race has received a few boosts but she will need to improve again under her 7lb penalty after 163 days off.
