Commentary

Maiden after 10 starts and showed only poor form when fourth of 10 in classified stakes at Ripon 16 days ago on first outing since leaving Ed de Giles. Hard to think she'll be involved down at this trip for the first time (best effort when placed at 2m).

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
