Without a win since 2022; three runs this year, best of those when 22-1 fourth of 11 to Bonito Cavalo here on Friday on her drop back to 6f; needs to build on that but this will be her first attempt at 5f and she's not the percentage call.

Has modest 2-34 strike-rate but one win was gained over this C&D, and she didn't get the best of runs before keeping on well for close third in this grade at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago; more appealing than most.
