Both wins came at around 1m on Tapeta last autumn but she's finished down the field in her last five runs; soft ground may have caused her downfall at Beverley last time but she needs to rediscover her spark back in this sphere.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.
