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.

0-9 for new stable this term but wasn't beaten far at Hamilton (6f, soft; made the running) most recently, while shaping as if this return to 5f will suit; clear possibilities off current mark dropped to Class 6; defied 21lb higher as a 2yo.
