Not made much of an impact recently in handicaps but from a powerful stable; towards the rear of 15 at Scottsville over 6f (handicap) in July (eased in the weights since); this is a step down in class; returns from an absence here.

Can be a player at this level; finished sixth last month albeit only beaten just under 3l over 1m (handicap); jockey booking heightens interest; clear chance if finding her best form and has a ground-saving draw.
