Nala The Lioness
Runner-up four times for Karl Burke (including in three bumpers, one on good to soft) but lost her form with that yard and, following a 400-day absence, there's been no sign of regaining it this year; had wind surgery after latest start and returns to turf for first time since her bumper days, so if she returned to form there would be clear reasons.
