Unreliable. Refused to race on first two starts of the year. Showed slightly more encouraging signs when fifth at Bellewstown (5f; good) last time. Interesting on return to these shores if putting it all in.
Inconsistent of late. Would hold a fair each-way shout if recapturing the form she showed when fifth at Thirsk (5f; good to soft) two starts ago. Still 2lb above latest winning mark which came on the AW.
2lb below last winning mark which came at Bath last season. Way below that level since though, and she showed nothing when sixth of eight at Southwell (5f; standard) in May. Readily opposed.
Dropped 3lb for posting a seasonal best when fourth over C&D last time. Place possibilities if producing a similar performance in a more competitive heat. Yard/jockey combo are out of form, which slightly tempers enthusiasm.
Put disappointing Bath run firmly behind her when going agonisingly close at Carlisle (5f; good to firm) last time when third in a three-way photo finish. Major claims if she is in the same form.
Made successful transition to the handicap sphere when victorious at Goodwood (6f; soft). Has been raised just 3lb for that and drops back in trip to 5f for the first time, but she is going the right way.
Still lightly raced after just the seven starts and didn't run badly when dropped to 5f at Windsor when fourth in a 12-runner affair. Chance if she can build on that, and no reason why she can't.
Is now winless in 71 starts. Each-way claims though, if able to rediscover the form of her runner-up effort over C&D three starts ago when belying odds of 100-1.
Showed much more when runner-up at Ayr (5f; good to firm) last week. Claims if building upon that and it is important to remember that she is a dual C&D winner.
0-9. One of a few in here who are out of the handicap and have a mountain to climb. Most recent effort when 11th of 14 at Chepstow (5f; good) is nowhere near good enough. Best watched.
0-9 and another lifeless effort when running in accordance with 100-1 odds over this C&D. Competing off basement mark now, but subsequently out of the weights. Impossible to fancy.
Possible excuses regarding the trip when never involved on handicap debut at Ripon (6f; good to firm). Now drops back to 5f, and could deliver on the glimmers of promise she showed in maidens.

There are plenty in this race who are just about where the handicapper wants them such as David's Beauty who went extremely close at Carlisle two weeks ago, and would hold solid each-way claims once more in what is a similarly competitive race. Another name worth noting is Teepee Time who posted a much more encouraging effort when runner-up to the revitalised Robot Boy at Ayr last week, but the one who may still be way ahead of her mark is the lightly raced APERITIF who made a successful switch to the handicap ranks when successful at Goodwood. A 3lb rise for that win is lenient and she is the one to beat if coping with the drop in trip.
