Bettered quiet seasonal debut when close third at Chepstow (5f, good; first attempt at trip) in June and took another step forward to make all under Mark Winn at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last month; only 2lb higher here and remains unexposed over 5f.

8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified.
