Landed a novice here over 6f in May (soft; first-time blinkers) and she's gone close on her two other visits to this track (5f/6f; good/good to firm); unfortunate not to go closer at Haydock last time having been denied a clear run against the rail but was still beaten only 2l in sixth; should get a good pace to aim at and rates a leading contender.
