Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer.

More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f.

Didn't take to hurdling when trained by Paul Robson but is 2-2 for new stable since reverting to the Flat last month with cheekpieces added, gaining both wins from the front at Ayr (7f, good); recorded good Topspeed figure for the grade on latter occasion needs to be taken very seriously.
