Ran respectably over 1m at major festivals the last twice, while leaving the impression this drop back in distance will prove ideal; record of 2-3 over 7f features a very solid win at this course (good) in May when beating a subsequent Listed scorer, with Blue Prince in third; strong claims.

Has rediscovered the winning habit since snapping a losing run when dead-heating in a handicap over the straight 1m here in September, adding handicaps over 1m1f at Meydan in January and February (all good ground); a big career best will be required to make it four in a row, though.

Has her quirks - she has hung left on occasions - and her overall profile is one of inconsistency; no denying she's talented though and the ease with which she travelled through a good 7f handicap (heavy) at Newbury three weeks ago bodes well for her claims now dropping to 6f; rain would aid her cause; interesting despite looking to face an uphill task at the weights.
