Began career with two wins last month (6f/5f); limit of her ability is very hard to gauge

Made all at Chelmsford last month and went close there on Sunday; return to turf not ideal

Has posted two good efforts over 6f this season; easily excused his 5f defeat last time

Yet to build upon encouraging seasonal debut but has slipped to a tempting mark
7 (1)	Ashwiyaa Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:George Boughey	J:Pat Cosgrave T:George Boughey	126	t	913-37	82	93	-	90d	—	—	+6	8.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Not seen since down-the-field finish on AW three months ago; others look much safer

Outran 66-1 odds when fourth at York in May but soundly beaten since; others preferred

On a very dangerous mark now and was unlucky not to finish closer than sixth last time
