No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Pontefract four weeks ago (6f, good to soft) but it was a run that promised better at some point; faster ground may help and she's one to consider.

Won at Bath (5.7f, good) in May on just her second handicap run; solid fourth at Redcar next time and she wasn't well drawn when sixth at Lingfield; latest Bath run harder to forgive but this is weak and cheekpieces could give her a lift.
