Broke the 2yo course record at 7f when making all at Southwell a fortnight ago; possible she didn't enjoy Epsom prior to that, having bumped into one at Leicester, but she's had plenty of racing now and a 6lb rise demands more back on turf.

Beat three rivals in a Beverley maiden in June (7f, good to firm) and best effort since when second of nine at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month (winner followed up at Sandown on Saturday); not hard to excuse her latest effort at Epsom and possibilities if bouncing back.

It wasn't a strong race she won at Brighton in May (6f, good) and she's failed to build on it twice since, albeit faced with a stiff task on penultimate run; another for whom the step up to 7f needs to prompt extra.

Confirmed the promise of her debut second at Catterick in April by making all at Brighton four weeks later (6f, good); pitched into Listed company at Newmarket 17 days ago and she was a well-beaten 100-1 shot; this is more suitable but she's penalised and could prove vulnerable.
