Having only third run on turf when second at Haydock (1m, good; unraced on softer) and she came from some way back to go close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), the scene of her sole success; strongly considered.

Pounced to break her duck over C&D (beat Blue Celestial by half-a-length) on penultimate start; gave a good account of herself back on turf when second at Haydock (1m) subsequently; it's likely she'll be in the mix again with Rose Dawes retaining the ride.
