Still unexposed after only four runs but could not justify her prominence in the betting when towards rear throughout last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) and arrives here with a point to prove; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the fitting of the visor when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April and went close again next time; bounced back from a lesser effort on soft ground when a respectable third of nine at Pontefract (1m, good) four days ago and now has the headgear back on (left off last time).
