Back to form on last three starts (about 2m4f, variety of ground) and latest saw her get off the mark at 15th attempt, doing so by 9l from the front in a six-runner race at Hereford on Monday; carries 7lb penalty in a larger field but should have a huge shout as an in-form candidate against unpersuasive rivals.
