Career-high mark following her third 6f win since December, at Wolverhampton in March (made all; Rossa Ryan up for the first time), but she has early speed and looks worth another go at 5f; should make a good fist of it.

Has been on a roll on the AW and wasn't far away behind Midnight Call in her bid for a four-timer (fine at 5f and 6f); the glaring concern is that she has no worthwhile form on turf, albeit after just four attempts.

Just keeps on progressing at 6f and 5f and landed a three-timer here (6f) 13 days ago; her small winning margins means she doesn't get raised too much and there is no reason why she should not be in the firing line again.
