Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises.

Won at Windsor off 5lb lower in June (1m3f, good to firm, second-time cheekpieces) and was a good second at Yarmouth next time (1m3f, good to firm); can be forgiven latest poor run (race said to have come too soon) and he handles soft ground so a possible contender.
