Decent 3yo who's enjoyed a revival round Chepstow of late, beating a subsequent winner off 7lb lower last month before following up a fortnight ago; every chance of completing the hat-trick.

Form & Verdict
In good form on the AW lately, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) this month; 4lb rise is fair enough, but she ran poorly in her only start on turf at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May which does leave her with questions to answer.

Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style.
