Highly tried after a successful debut last year; never involved upped to 1m last time, having made a solid comeback over 7f, and the drop to sprinting would suggest stamina may have been the issue; one to consider down another 2lb.

Filly whose Newbury record features her debut success last July (6f) and creditable fifth on handicap/seasonal debut (7f, good; Class 2); in the mix, provided she stays this new trip.

Ready winner of a 6f fillies' maiden here on debut last July; came up short in stronger company in three subsequent runs (5f-7f); absent for 237 days and she returns in a warm handicap; stable also runs Tamashal.

BHA mark of 87 catches the eye but difficult to gauge what she's achieved in finishing well held in Group 3 (7f) and Listed (5f) races since her successful debut at Newbury, though does return to her winning trip here.

Belied 14-1 odds to win on last month's debut here (6f, good to firm), then no match for the other four when last of five in Group 3 Sweet Solera at Newmarket last Saturday (7f, good to firm; 12-1); tackles 5f for the first time and improvement is needed but she's not discounted down in grade.
