Brought slowly and successfully through the 6f handicap ranks but her star has dimmed of late, never raising serious hopes when favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup and little encouragement in a Group 3 run at Ascot since (first-time cheekpieces, retained); hard to fancy for this.

Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Hugo Palmer

Has an outstanding record for Oisin Murphy, winning four of five starts for him and unfortunate to not to make it a clean sweep in the other; has won over 7f and is effective on all surfaces; she tends to cut it fine but was again strong when it mattered at Hamilton (6f, good) in July and continues on the upgrade; solid chance.

Made it three wins and a second in her last four starts (all under Oisin Murphy on soft/heavy ground) when shading a close finish on 7f Goodwood reappearance 40 days ago; only nudged up 2lb but might be best to look elsewhere unless further rain arrives.

Won at Haydock last May, followed up at Salisbury in October and beaten a nose at Doncaster on final 3yo outing; those were all over 6f on soft or heavy (unraced on good to soft) and 7f now looks well worth a go; good chance assuming she's raring to go for this reappearance.
