Form & Verdict
Two wins on AW towards end of last year (1m2f/1m4f, AW) and she's had a break since a lesser run in January; drops back in trip and needs to prove she's effective on turf, but she hasn't had much racing and is not ruled out.

3yo who has been highly progressive and has continued the good work on her last two starts, with a 3l handicap second to Silver Lake at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) being followed by a Listed near-miss at Clairefontaine (1m4f, good to soft); there's every chance that she'll be bang there.
