Been a while since her last win but she wasn't beaten far in a similar race over C&D in March, having travelled best, and that race has been well advertised since; can race off a lower mark today and she's a key player.

Quite useful in her prime but last win was in 2021, and she's had several chances off basement marks on the AW this year; not disgraced on turf last week but faded into sixth when favourite at Ayr yesterday.
