Sole win came over 7f on heavy but stays further and the win came on last season's reappearance; drawn out wide but this isn't a strong event and she's less exposed than most of these.

Her three wins have all come over C&D, including this race last year off 70 (heavy); timely return to form at the Curragh last month when 1m2f proved just beyond her; down to a handy mark and major chance of a repeat win in the race.
