Her wins have come over 6f (AW) and 7f (good to firm), the latter on reappearance last June; rather up and down since but the return to 1m on good to firm ground makes sense and she is 9lb lower than 12 months ago; wore cheekpieces last two starts, first-time blinkers now.

Early handicap runs weren't too good but has improved for wind surgery, winning at Newcastle in January and running well in defeat in his only subsequent race over 1m; lesser efforts at 1m2f since but has more going for him back at this trip on turf.

Form & Verdict
Not yet off the mark but her handicap form at 1m and 7f in Ireland, before missing all of 2022, suggests she has a race in her; unlikely that soft ground would have suited on her latest two starts but of more interest now back on quicker going.
