5/1

Comment: All three wins have been at Chelmsford; ran her best race for a while when beaten a short head at Southwell last time (1m3f); has shown bits of from on turf, and quite interesting on first run over 1m (has raced mainly over 6f/7f although also tried over 1m3f and 2m).

Comment: Hasn't the best of strike-rates; ran a couple of fair races when in the frame at Ripon and Newcastle last August, but ended the season on a low-key note; best form over further.

Comment: Ex-Irish; 17l third over 1m2f at Dundalk in January but seemed to better that last time when 7.5l ninth of 13 on stable debut at Kempton (7f); bit to prove on handicap debut.
