Hard to knock her last four races and prominent throughout when narrowly beaten at Chepstow on Monday; however, that was over 6f and, although she stays 7f, the vast majority of her runs have been over sprint trips and she last raced over 1m in 2021 (finished ninth).

Won two 6f handicaps last season, the second of them on soft ground at Ffos Las off just 2lb lower; had a wind op last month and she made a pleasing return to action when fifth of 26 at Ascot 13 days ago, prominent throughout in the group that raced up the middle; could take another step forward with that behind her.
