Only win was over C&D in November 2020; some fair efforts since and perhaps needed the run after a break last time; interesting back on a track that suits her.

Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights.

Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Failed to win for Dan Skelton and went the wrong way after showing early promise; new trainer has got her back on track with a couple of point wins, latterly accounting for The New Kid (3m, good to soft); highly questionable whether that form will see her competitive here.
