She's won five of her six starts, the latest victory coming in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) in October 2024; absent since and she needs to prove she retains her ability, but she probably won't need to be at her very best to come out on top in this line-up.

Tenacious winner of a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May, making most in the latter as the first two drew 12l clear; 8-11 for the Group 3 Musidora at York (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) just ten days later but held up and hung right, finishing last of seven; on a recovery mission but the Newmarket win demands respect.

Getting back on slow ground is a positive and she's 5lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September, but she hasn't been at the top of her game in a light campaign and a shorter trip may be preferable.
