Beaten under 5l at Ripon in July but still went off at 80-1 last time at Haydock (1m2f, good) where she won narrowly in a small field; only 1lb higher and looks mildly progressive.

Turned over four times at short prices since handicapping and made it three lacklustre efforts on the spin last time (Polytrack); goes back up in trip and has something to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Stamina for 1m2f wasn't assured at Redcar, a course that suits her, eight days ago but she was fine and meets Baldosa (third) and Diamond Aura (fourth) on the same terms; below-par favourite here in the spring, which would be a slight worry.

Has produced most of her best results, including sole success, at Redcar but went close in sole attempt in a Thirsk handicap; however, looks more exposed than the other 3yos in this field.

J: Cian Horgan

Beaten favourite in the 7.5f nursery on this card last year, but better than a record of 1-23 might imply and she remains 4lb below her winning mark; likely goaded into overracing last time over a 1m2f trip she's still quite new to, and return to about 1m for now may do no harm.

Ended her time for Hugo Palmer with a good second at Leicester (1m2f) in July; yet to build on that in three runs for her new yard, though not disgraced with sixth in 1m Redcar handicap last time; no forlorn hope.
