Ultra-consistent in handicaps, aside from her turf efforts, and showed the right attitude back in cheekpieces when narrowly beating Study Up over C&D two weeks ago; both will find this a bit tougher but she has claims upped 3lb.

Made winning stable debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in January and she's held her form with three solid placed efforts since; 2lb higher than when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time but that was a bold bid and she's still unexposed on turf; respected back in this sphere.
