Has shown clear promise with second-place finishes at Newbury (1m, soft) last October and Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March (winner has won again since); beaten 2l in a decent Newbury maiden (1m, good) since and this looks a good opportunity on AW debut.
Comment
Runner-up twice and fourth latest; this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark.

Took a while to find her feet but shaped with considerable promise when runner-up in a Salisbury maiden (7f, good to firm) last month; should have come on a bundle and be suited by the step up in trip on this AW debut.
