Debut scorer at Lingfield (5f, AW) in February, and has marginally improved in both starts since. Handled turf well enough when 4L second on her handicap debut at Redcar (5f, good to soft) recently and looks a contender again.
Proved a little frustrating for followers last year, going close in three successive nurseries (all 5f) without winning. May have needed her reappearance, and if better for that, then she would probably be a big player again.
Went off at 66-1 or bigger in all three starts as a juvenile (6f/7f). Drops back in trip, but has shown nothing of interest so far. Cheekpieces now fitted.

Forecasts
Ice Ice Lady (4/9), Blue Venture (2/1), Sparkling Diamond (9/2), Abbaleka (6/1), Scorpio's Dream (33/1)
There should really only be three possible contenders in this race, with Abbaleka interesting in first-time headgear and Blue Venture another who could go very close after a recent spin. However, ICE ICE LADY is less exposed than both and is taken to come home in front.
