Progressive filly who has won over 6f, 7f, and 1m in her last three runs and the last two have been at this track (good to soft/good); 6lb higher than last time but that was a dominant display and she's a big player again back in trip.

Successful seven times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but she went too freely when ninth of ten in 1m Ayr handicap 13 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.
