Having dropped back down to her last winning mark she's scored on her reappearance at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; strong claims back up 3lb provided the return to Tapeta isn't an issue.
Disappointing at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January on sole handicap start but she showed promise previously (including here) and 7f looked inadequate in a maiden at Chelmsford in February last time, when third; could play a leading role back up in trip and back in a handicap.
0-15 since winning in December 2024 on her second start but she ran a couple of reasonable races this January and returns from a break on another career-low mark; effective over C&D and might not be far away.
Her form went the wrong way last season but she returns having had wind surgery and is 7lb lower than when winning on her reappearance last April; trainer had a double here last Saturday; capable of having a big say.
She's below her last winning mark and may have needed the run at Kempton this month on her stable debut; however, her form was patchy last season and her claims aren't compelling.
Three wins this year (two over C&D) and bounced back from disappointing Newcastle run with close sixth of eight over C&D this month, when the slow pace was against her; possible player.
Won off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November but she's been a long way below that level on her last four starts.
Following a long layoff she's been down the field in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) and a Lingfield handicap (1m, Polytrack) on her two runs this year; however, she remains very lightly raced and she showed plenty of promise here in October 2024; yard in fine form; no surprise to see a big run.
Ran okay when 5l fourth of five in C&D novice last September and it was her first run since when beaten only about 3l in sixth of ten on handicap debut at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; her pedigree provides optimism that she'll have more to offer and she could be a contender.
