Just her second handicap when she beat 15 others to win at Stratford (2m2f, soft; 50-1) in late 2023; two-year absence followed and she hasn't threatened in two starts this term; 7lb below that winning mark and the tongue-tie goes on following wind surgery but she'd be of interest only with market support.
