Infrequent winner these days but always prominent when holding on at Chepstow (6f, good) four days ago; this looks tougher under a 4lb penalty (Alexandra Egan rides again).

Modest form in her three runs in 6f novice/maiden company (peak RPR of 45); Rossa Ryan booked for her handicap debut and this isn't a deep race; worth a market check.

Moderate form in her three qualifying starts but improved on entering this sphere at Chepstow (6f, good) latest, when she raced prominently but didn't quite have the pace late on; the step up in trip looks positive for her first start on Tapeta; drops 2lb; not ruled out.
