took a step back in the right direction back from 9 weeks off, albeit making fairly hard work of it; mid-division, not fluent sixth, shaken up after, lost place when ridden 4 out, plodded on; at least the handicapper has given her a chance.

was all the rage in the betting under Johnson but disappointed faced with more testing ground after 9 weeks off, in trouble early enough to think that lack of stamina for the longer trip wasn't the main problem; held up, headway after 4 out, pushed along home turn, no further impression.
