Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February.

Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard.
