Impressive maiden winner at the Curragh in 2024; promising third in Greenham Stakes last year but finished down the field in Jersey Stakes; disappointed when last of ten in Gladness on return 25 days ago; needs to come on plenty for that but still lightly-raced and handles soft ground.

Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on third stable start then went one better at Southwell (7f, AW); won on turf at the Curragh (6f, soft) last March and this stiff 6f could be a good fit; she's one to consider, especially if slow ground prevails.
