Mostly well below form in 2025 but came back down the weights and has often been competitive since October; indeed, Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 16 days ago saw her first win since a C&D race in summer 2024; it's possible that she is on her way back but this is a warmer contest.

Struggled in three novice events last summer but she found plenty of improvement upped to 1m2f on her handicap debut when a close fourth at Chelmsford in November; returns from another break but she stuck to her task quite well last time and has possibilities on her step up to this trip; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
