Made a winning return at Ayr (5f, good) early last month, but again didn't look suited by the longer trip when eight of 11 there (6f, good) next time; return to 5f a positive and she won't mind if the ground stays soft or dries out a bit; big player.

A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb.
