Returned from a break with creditable third of seven over 1m here last month but she's been below par twice since, latterly at Newcastle only five days ago; others arrive with more pressing claims.

Ran well in the Southwell contest won by Wild Side but raced too freely in the Wolverhampton event won by Nine Tenths; not sure to what to expect in first-time cheekpieces (replacing usual hood).

Dual C&D winner (good/soft); ran her best race for a while when 2.25l fifth of 11 at Ayr last time (1m1f, good to firm), although that form hasn't been working out.

Out of form in three runs on the AW during the winter (latest over 1m4f) but is better on turf (won twice over 1m2f in May 2024); could go well at a decent price.

Form & Verdict
Only modest form shown in four runs thus far, and she beat only one on her handicap debut at Ffos Las (7f) last month; she needs to take a big step forward on her Polytrack debut.
