Form & Verdict

0-8 since switching to current stable but made quite encouraging seasonal debut when fifth in 0-135 event at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; has a C&D win on her CV and is sure to appreciate today's significant drop in grade; high on the list.

Nothing like the force of old but exploited some considerable help from the handicapper when scoring by 8l at Kelso (2m2f, good) in September; also suited by this C&D and, assuming her confidence has not been dented by last month's heavy fall, she can make her presence felt.
