Weights pull with My Mate Mike on C&D form last May; both with different stables now and she ran quite encouragingly on second start for this one at Leicester recently, when again without regular cheekpieces (all four wins in them) but perhaps she doesn't need them now; competitive back here.

Won over 1m on turf (soft) and Polytrack last year; still 3lb higher than for last win but she returned from a break with a close fourth at Lingfield (1m) 12 days ago; should benefit from that run and she had a close call over this trip in the autumn; in the mix with Billy Loughnane booked.
