T: Christopher Mason

C&D winner (firm) who was third back over C&D on her reappearance in May and ran to a similar level back here next time; produced a career-best effort when winning a Chepstow classified event (5f, good to firm) latest; needs a similar effort to defy this mark back in a handicap but there are plenty of positives, including with her yard among the winners.
