Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind.

Second in an Irish point in November 2024; has not shown much in a bumper or three hurdle races but going handicapping (albeit from 3lb wrong) offers a much more realistic chance in theory and she's bumped upped substantially in trip, which looks a good move on pedigree.
