Not particularly consistent but has won two 7f handicaps at Newbury this season, the latest off 5lb higher last month (7f, good); also ran well when a close third to two dead-heaters, including Diamondonthehill, over C&D in May (good to firm); could go well. |

Both wins came over 7f on good ground around this time last year; runner-up twice over C&D on good to firm this summer and has had excuses for her below-par runs since; her hold-up style (can miss the break) dictates that things need to drop right but she's more than capable off this mark if they do. |
