Had cheekpieces on for the first time when making all (dictated a steady gallop) in a 0-65 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April but she was disappointing on her turf debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when making all in a Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago; up 6lb but that was a dominant display and she's open to more progress on this switch to turf; key player.

Ties in with two of tonight's rivals as she finished alongside Wedonttellthetruth in the C&D event won by Cospicua when making handicap/seasonal debut; may build on that effort and show progress, provided she takes well to first-time headgear; shortlisted.
