5yo mare whose form has gone to a new level this season, with wins at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) and Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) sandwiching a runner-up finish at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm); she may be the type who only just does enough and therefore she could have more still left in the tank.

All three wins have been at 1m2f and, although she has run well at 1m3f, this far might be a stretch; if she did last out then would have a chance in current form on ground she handles; Arron D'Arcy's claim eases her career-high mark.
