Some way below last year's form so far this season and a revival would be needed before she was considered even for place purposes in a competitive handicap of this nature.
Has shown she is capable of being competitive in races like this in the past, including off this handicap mark or higher, but has proven difficult to win with so recently and is probably looking at a place at best.
Finished a fine second over C&D on her seasonal reappearance last time out, just a nose behind the winner with the field strung out. Up 3lb for that, which was an encouraging run, and which was her first attempt at this trip.
Easy winner of a maiden at the third attempt last time out at Chester (7½f, good to soft). Seems progressive and on a fair opening mark, and so is definitely one to consider.
Not quite as effective this year having switched from Ismail Mohammed's yard, though she is probably working her way down to a winnable handicap mark once again.
Has placed on each of her last four starts, and despite a 3lb increase for the most recent of those efforts she remains fairly treated and should be capable of going close once again.
Up 6lb for a narrow victory at Wolverhampton last time (7f, standard). That seems a little harsh, and more will therefore be needed, especially on the basis of her recent performances on turf.
Recorded a first career win at Beverley last time out when stepping up to 1m+ for the first time. Has 2lb extra to carry now but that seems fair, for all that it was a narrow victory, and a repeat of that run should see her on the premises.
Better on her second run in handicap company when finishing second at Beverley last time out (7½f, good to firm), and could be capable of placing if building on that up only 1lb.
Has only finished in front of one horse in two races in handicaps so far despite having performed with credit in maidens. Perhaps first time cheek pieces can see her return to that better level of form.
Excuses recently but is now on a long losing streak and is only 1/26 in her races overall, with some apparent issues in her temperament not helping her cause.

If building on the promise she showed in getting off the mark at Chester last time out, then this can go to FLOURISHING on her handicap debut. She won that easily, and seems progressive, with the opening mark she has been allotted likely to be prove fair, or perhaps even lenient, with time. She is taken to to record a second career win ahead of Connemera Queen, who ran a most promising race over C&D last time out on her season reappearance, and Vaulted, who impressed when winning at Beverley last time.
