Dotted up on Monday's Plumpton chase debut (2m4f, good); penalty ought not contain her.

Yet to see what she's still fully capable of since returning from 22-month absence.

0-17; gone wrong way since initially fair return from big layoff; cheekpieces ditched.
2	It's Easy Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	J:Adam Wedge T:Evan Williams	168	—	264231	104	106	99	29d	—	—	+22	30.6	—	9/1 10%
Belated first chase win last time (2m4f, soft), albeit the race fell apart; more needed.
