Comment: Seven-race maiden who has regressed in her last two races, both 6f handicaps; no guarantees that this return to 7f will aid the cause.

Comment: Belatedly back over 6f when prevailing narrowly at Windsor on Saturday and the cheekpieces appear to be helping; effectively off the same mark with Tommie Jakes erasing the penalty with his claim.
