Dual course winner, latterly off 3lb higher over C&D (soft) just under a year ago; out of form this season, though, and needs to turn a corner; wore cheekpieces the last twice; visor tried today.

Now back on same mark as for hard-fought win at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last March but dropped out of contention very tamely on final two starts last year (cheekpieces added last time) and comes here with a point to prove.

Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights.

Form & Verdict
Began the season well, winning at Plumpton (3m1f) then third at Wincanton (3m), both on good to soft; has lost her way a little and was behind Shesupincourt the last time; perhaps blinkers could get her back on track.

Two C&D wins last spring but has struggled this year; better at Stratford eight days ago and chance may depend of effect of cheekpieces (returning in place of usual tongue-strap); much prefers quick ground.
