Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight.

Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap (firm) in April; completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind thereafter; has the ability to pop up again but too risky for comfort.
