Losing run since landing back-to-back handicaps in Britain in 2023; possibly in season when last seen in a 6f handicap here and has been off 344 days; poor record fresh.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden over this trip in 2020 but that's her only win in 27 starts and she's shown little in three runs for her new yard.
