Made it two wins from her four starts when easily winning a Class 3 handicap here (1m1f, good) in May; stamina to prove today and she was only fifth in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last time, but the ground may not have suited and she remains one to be interested in, especially back here.

Has improved a chunk with each of her four runs, last time winning off a handicap mark of 75 at Hamilton (good; unraced on softer) on the step up from 1m to 1m1f; as that win was easily by 8l, she has put herself into serious each-way calculations at this much higher level.

She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far.
